- Microsoft is making it harder to fix Windows by disabling features like Automatic Registry Backups and system restore. Looks like they would rather people have to reload Windows when things go wrong. I'll show you today how to reenable these features so when problems come up, they can be fixed.

Microsoft: _"We removed automatic registry backups to save storage space."_
Literally everyone: _"If you're concerned about space, remove the extra bloatware and telemetry services. Pretty sure that junk takes up WAY more storage."_
Microsoft: *_"NOOOOO!!! ThOsE aRe EsSeNtIaL!!!"_*
BTW: Where does the telemetry bullshit get stored?
@@RicardoSantos-oz3uj It gets sent to Microsoft's servers where they store it and use it to send you ads and shit.
One way to limit this is to type "services" in your search bar, click on the services application, and scroll down to "Connected User Experiences and Telemetry", double-click it, and change startup type to "Disabled" and then services status to "Stop", then hit "Apply" and "Okay". This can actually also help speed up older computers with mechanical hard drives because they're not constantly sending stuff to Microsoft.
Differing point of view.
They are "essential" ONLY to MicroS**t. !@#$%&^* pirates & thieves.
@@DJdoppIer Correct....unfortunately I hear rumors regularly that Microshaft has gone in and changed settings, They also legally have
power to REMOVE software from YOUR system per the End User license
fine print. How can they do this? Only if they are monitoring the state of
your system....telemetry. I am especially amazed Businesses are using
Win10 still....you are digitally naked in the street essentially...
Hi Rich,
1st off - Thank you for this video/tip! Very Useful and it will save my butt later I'm sure!
I just want to say that I created Scheduled Task without going through the additional steps you took. I left the Custom Handler alone and just set all the other parameters of the task I switched the task from Run As "System" to Run As "Admin" account to run the task. After saving the task changes, I then Right-Clicked the task from the Task Scheduler and selected 'Run" and it worked perfectly! The files that were in the folder = [C:\Windows\System32\config\RegBack] went from 0 bytes to various Kilobytes sizes depending on the file. I will check that the files get updated on the interval(s) I have chosen for running this task, but I feel pretty confident it should run as scheduled. Hope you read this and try it for yourself!
the Windows-made backup task does not seem to have a trigger, I added one to check if it works if fixed this way
This is why i store my important files on different drive than OS.
Once a year clean OS installation by default, sometimes there can be issues you dont notice.
@CyberCPU, thank you for the videos. On top of the valuable material, I like your engaging presentation and sense of humor.
Question: how does the BackupCount setting work? I set it at 2 and am wondering where these two go.
Question/Request: I like viewing the videos on my Pixel 8 Pro. As large as it is, deciphering the text is often hard. Would it make sense to Scale the display a bit?
Seriously folks, I've supported thousands of Windows desktops over the past few years, and I've run into one issue of a corrupted registry since XP. The hell are you guys doing? I push clients to get full periodic system images, not registry exports. SSD crashes and ransomeware can't be fixed with a registry restore.
Acronis Trueimage works for me.
I have seen in some Windows 10 installs that the Restore Point feature has been disabled. The first thing I do is to first go into restore point (Make a desktop shortcut) and see if it is turned on. I will set it to about 6% or 18 gig's.
I wish the old program called "Go Back" used in Windows 5 was still available.
Amazing video. Liked, saved, shared. Cheers!
Glad it helped.
I enjoy your videos and get lots of tips from them. Is it possible to create scripts so I could make a "Repair Tech" flash drive to use when repairing computers. Maybe you could even sell the script flash drives along with the t-shirts... I repair computers for free for our computer club in a 55 and older community. We have over 1500 members. I suppose I could catalog links to all your videos in a folder on my regular repair flash drive. Thanks for everything you do. It's a great help.
Personally, I don't rely on Microsoft and yes, I noticed that they disabled backup features which makes no sense. However, I would strongly recommend a commercial solution like Macrium.
Yeah i think this happened back in windows 10 1803 which I ran into after a computer did an upgrade, deleted the old backups and broke itself and system restore couldnt find a previous version. I got it to work by exporting the registry off another PC that had the same windows version. But it did piss me off back when that happened.
In windows 11 Task Scheduler> task scheduler library> I don't have Microsoft in there. There is 2 MicrosoftEdgeUpdateTaskMachineCore that is the only Microsofts in there.
@Douglas Blake Thanks, I knew that I had clicked the words not the > I had brain fart.
Glad you got it worked out.
Since I create a partition to store all my data, the only thing on the Windows partition is the Windows system.. So I use Aomei Backupper (free) and backup the Windows partition.. You can also backup the boot partition or any other partition and even create a usb boot drive with Aomei Backupper on it (to save your bacon when Windows won't boot).. I never loose any of my data (documents, downloads, pictures, videos etc..(they are on a different partition)).. I also have a partition for Linux and dual boot to Windows or Linux and both access the same data on the data partition.. I also have everything stored on my TrueNAS server, with a second TrueNAS server mirroring the 1st one.. I don't waste my time tracking down and trying to fix Microsoft's blunders (if something doesn't work I replace it with one that does).. Most all of Microsoft's fix tools don't work anyway, so why bother trying to use them..
None of this has been put in the description for copy pasting.
Sorry, my bad. Working on it now.
It's fixed. It should all be in the description now.
I don't quite understand the connection with the folder "RegBack" and restore points? According to Microsoft, restore points are stored in the hidden system folder "System Volume Information"?
When I go into "Recovery" the list of restore points is displayed correctly.
In general, my PC does not automatically create restore points, even though I have followed your instructions 100%, and have double-checked several times. When I run the created job manually, files are saved in "RegBack", so I don't quite understand what's going wrong? So I think something is going wrong with the automation? Maybe I should check this part out again, again. 🤔🤔🤨🤨
Now I am totally confused. Today there are new updated files in the "RegBack" folder, but no restore points appear in the "System Restore" overview with the date 07-04-2023.🤔🤨
Latest update: A restore point was automatically created in the RegBack Folder on 10 April 2023, but this restore point cannot be seen in the restore function you open via the control panel. So you cannot restore the system files via this point, since it is not shown. I don't think the correct method is to save the restore points in the RegBack folder, but they should probably be saved in the hidden system file 'System volume', which Microsoft says they are saved in.
Nice tips and info good job
shame on you microsoft
It's just part of that wonderful Windows 11 experience. 😆
Show them the price of their sins.
SWITCH
to a Mac.
Provided you don't need any Windows only programs, I'm sure you'll find macOS much more accommodating to letting you use your computer how YOU want.
Bill Gates wants mandatory vaccines, I don't doubt their malice
I gotta wonder if this was Microsoft caving to the Linux crowd screaming "Windows takes up too much drive space!"
@@StaceyAyodele The Mac OS is nice, but the hardware is an anti-consumer nightmare.
My work has the same philosophy as MS, giving us "improvements" to the software that we never asked for, making our job even harder to do than it was before.
At least you are getting paid for the software you never asked for. Lol
It's what happens when HR takes over.
I re-enabled System Restore a long time ago (WIN 10), but I've become very wary of Microsoft and choose to not place much faith in it working when I actually need it. My fallback plan doesn't involve reinstalling Windows and all the work that entails, I just do a monthly system disk image backup which is stored on a separate drive. If the worst happens, I just use my boot disk or USB key to start up and then install the system disk backup. At worst I lose a month of application data (not really a full month, I also do a weekly backup of User Data). I always do a lot of customization of my operating system, so the "install a fresh version of Windows and start over" is a non-starter for me. Frequent backups are my friends, and storage space is cheap these days.
For me doing system images is just not efficient. I have way too many computers. I would have to image 10+ drives. It wouldn't be worth it.
@@CyberCPU thee is a tool to extract the folders and files of system restore point. So you can have on 1 removable driver with all your computers system restore points (extracted).
Virus System Restore 😂😂
@@STCatchMeTRACjRo I would be interested in that tool if you know the name of it.
@@CyberCPU guess ur not the only one interested in that tool :-:)
I used to work in an IT workshop in an MSP (managed services provider, IT services for small business). I had both of these added to a post-setup script on our deployment server to make sure that it was enabled on anything we deployed. It saved our bacon many times. One thing to note is that if you have BitLocker disk encryption enabled, you'll be prompted for the 48-digit recovery key when you use the F8 menu.
using Sccm? is there a how to?
In my experience, Microsoft's "system restore" hasn't been reliable since Windows 7. Even in 8 and 8.1, it would almost always fail.
That is my experience as well. The many times I tried on different computers it only ever worked one single time.
Yeah, honestly, I've spent the past couple of months learning how to tweak the living fk out of Windows 10/11 & disable all their BS. Got to say, I am very pleased with all my achievements, in big part because you inspired me to get into learning my system in a deeper level of understanding, so it won't blue screen me 24/7!
Thank you for your amazing work! 😊😊
Glad my videos have helped.
Ditto.
Same
system restore dosen't cover most of the registry period. i only had one or two times it actually corrected a problem.
@@josephmeholick1300 With my wife's laptop she accidentally. She plays games on FB that will screw things up. It usually puts some kind of malware on her computer and have to use system restore to fix her problem. Telling her to stop playing these game is like talking to the wall. So like every six months ago I have to use system restore to solve the problem. Thankfully she has an older windows that still have this feature that I don't have to fix these settings.
I have found System restore to be unreliable as far as fixing problems after using restore points. Buying additional 1TB Nmve drives for clone backups is super cheap now. Cloning your boot drive is the most reliable way to "system restore" that i've found. There's no 100% foolproof method but that's the best one I've got. Obviously takes much longer than software based methods but that's what works the best for me :)
System restore is helpful only 10% times,
But registry backup is helpful 40% of times
And i also use
Windows file backup , which is helpful 80% of times .. at least for me and my clients .
Agree, an image of the boot drive should have been saved. 15-20 minutes would save a whole lot of trouble. Some people just don't learn and apply.
I noticed this every time I ran into a problem with Windows 10. Despite all System Restores, none of them actually worked unless I went into safe mode. Then Microsoft made that harder to get into Apparently they decided that pressing F8 while the computer was booting just made it too easy. Then if your computer didn't start up to begin with, you couldn't get to the option to reboot in safe mode and I don't even see that anymore. When I rise to power, all this mishigas will end and Windows will be the BEST OS. And the versions will be Windows (Current Year) None of this weird H1N1 malarkey that sound like flu strains. The only things Microsoft consistently does is bloating their operating system, bombarding users that don't know better with ads, and making simple things difficult and spying on their customers.
Ah, I made this comment before I got to your "Bonus" I will try that. Awesome !
There's an alternative trick to get into safe mode without F8 enabled.
When the system is booting hold down the power button to kill the system 3 times. This will force Windows 10 into recovery mode and from there you can go to advanced startup and then choose safe mode from the menu.
@@CyberCPU Thank you.
I'd never heard of mishigas before. Delighted to find it was a real word and overjoyed to find out it meant just what I thought it should.
It has now entered my vocabulary as my new favourite word
Great video! A bit confusing is that you put "Command For Task manager" in the description although you meant "Command For Task Scheduler"
My bad, sorry about that. It's copied and pasted directly from my notes. I didn't notice it was wrong. I'll fix it. Thanks for pointing it out.
I had a problem where bcdedit was not recognized as a command. So, if you have the same issue, run this command:
dir %windir% /b /s | findstr "bcdedit"
This should list all paths where bcdedit exists. Just copy one with the .exe extensions (not .mui or .dl) to system32 with this command:
copy "_Path of bcdedit.exe_" %windir%\System32
Then you should be able to use bcdedit like shown in the video.
System32 should already be in your path. Glad you got it worked out, because that would have stopped many DOS commands from working.
Very true... unfortunately. I've noticed a few things since the release of Windows 11, but then it seems even worse. Now the best thing to do is to... do it manually, maybe creating some timed scripts.
There're a couple of mistakes.
at 13:55 you say click dstring value 32 Bit when you mean dword 32 bit. Apart from that this is brilliant. Thanks...
Also, at 7:18 you say EnablePeriodicBackups with an S following it i.e. the plural. Whereas the green text you have on the screen is EnablePeriodicBackup singular. The singular seems to be correct.
I hate to put junk in my registry, so I used the singular .
Good catch.
You actually have to type "Standard" to reverse this bcd command , "Regular" does not work ;-)
Did I say regular in the video?
Sorry about that. Yes, standard is the correct string.
I remember that was the easiest way to fix Windows XP and lower with all the registry garbage it held on to. Also, it was just easier to reload the O/S than figure out where all the viruses were hiding. I guess Microsoft thinks this is a reinvention of an old idea that "worked," so they are returning to it.
I remember there used to be a time where you had to reload your operating system once a year. I like the fact that you no longer have to do that. I have windows installs that are not only years old but had actually moved to new upgraded hardware without reloading. My Plex server is Windows 10 and has moved between three different systems without reloading. Still runs solid as a rock.
@@CyberCPU When did that stop being a thing?
LOL
But seriously, for the o.s., and for most users, i largely agree it's not really a necessity these days.
For nuts like me, yeah, it's still a thing.
I wind up with so much junk i don't use, it's just way more efficient to nuke and start over yearly than to try and make sure the ruddy things actually got uninstalled and didn't leave remnants.(bleeping autodesk and adobe).
@@CyberCPU This was from registry bloat and it becoming a massive mess. People don't make their programs cleanly remove their registry entries and their registry is incredibly inefficient.
Yes, lets reimplement the worst aspect of Windows XP that was fixed with later versions of Windows. Brilliant!
@@ahnilatedahnilated7703 I have never experienced a system with a registry that was so messed up it affected system performance. I know what you're talking about but I've never seen a negative impact from it.
I highly recommend against tools that promise to clean registries up for this reason. I've seen those tools destroy systems far more then dirty registries.
This procedure has allowed me to fix so many computers that wouldn't boot.
Your description doesn't have any of the lines of text you state will be there for us to copy to use in this hack.
Sorry, I forgot. It's there now.
Great video! I would not be surprised if the disablement of those features is intended to encourage people to use a MS account on their PCs and more importantly, OneDrive backup subscriptions.
Good point!
Wouldn't surprise me.
Maybe that's why they removed Windows File History too (not that it was ever good enough for my use case when I used to run Windows).
I'll never understand why Microsoft never came out with an app like macOS's Time Machine to make easy system backups and file recovery.
I left Windows behind, I've gotten a Mac. And my sanity has been much better. Microsoft needs to do better, but again, I doubt they will when they can get recurring revenue with OneDrive subscriptions.
I recently purchased Microsoft Office instead of 365, and now subscribe to get 100 gigs of Onedrive space for $29 a year instead of paying $80 a year for 365. I got my office professional for $29. I don't let onedrive do any sort of auto backups. Right now I am only using 32 gigs. I use it strictly as a secondary backup for important files. I do have a task scheduled to backup my boot drive (C), and my program files drive (D) to run on the first Sunday of the month to an external drive. I have an 8-terabyte portable drive I use strictly for this purpose. I am a blogger, so I back up my system, website, images, business files, etc to that additional drive. I always keep several months worth of backups because, in my experience, backups will sometimes fail for various reasons. Just like my website. The database gets backed up twice a day and I keep 2 months' worth of backups of those. Imagery gets backed up once a week. Why do I do this? In case it gets hacked with ransomware. I can always go back to an older backup if I catch the problem within a 2-month time frame.
Yeah, they're really pushing us to use a Microsoft account. Recently, I was setting up a laptop And it requires an internet connection. Then, I have to turn on my phone's hotspot and connect to it to set it up.
@@blindtechworld Again, glad I went to Mac. It doesn't mandate an internet connection to setup your account. You just create a local account and skip iCloud setup if you don't want it.
Apple gives you more control over your computer than Microsoft does. Might have issues on Right To Repair, but at least you control what you can and can't do with the software....unlike the BS Microsoft is pulling.
macOS FTW!
Wow !! So cool !! Very glad that you made this incredible video. I never knew Windows shut-off the Reg backup. Great video !! Yeah MS, should shut-off their Telemetry to safe disc space 😂😂. 👍👍 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The Automatic Registry Backups doesn't work on Windows 11 Pro did each step you did and still no Automatic Registry Backups...… But the Enable F8 menu did work on Windows 11 Pro...
I imagine Microsoft got rid of the F8 menu for security reasons. It's good they at least have the option to turn it back on. I thought that was dead after Windows 8. :P
I'm seeing too many System Restore disabled. Even from an MS Windows flash drive; not just the PC manufacturers recovery systems.
I've seen it a lot also. It's kind of reckless of Microsoft to disable it by default.
My original os backup was deleted off an HP gaming notebook. I see a pattern.
Anyway, I don't know what you guys are doing. I use, abuse and pirate, use keygens and cracks and have almost no problem. Doing it for many years. So, what are you doing to break Windows? Can someone teach me?
MS working hard to really make it finally worth it to just go to linux
Yea typical Microsoft to disable or cripple feature that are the most useful !
That does seem to be the case sometimes.
Maybe this lack of registry backup is why Windows startup repair never succeeds?
That's a good point. I don't think I've ever seen window starter repair actually work. Also SFC. It never seems to work either.
@@CyberCPU Here's a proceudr from Chris Titus that works 95% of the time.
ruclips.net/video/sOihh4ZNOf4/видео.html
I have Windows 11 and when I try to create new trigger and set it up I don't have the option of Windows 11 only 10. Will 10 work for 11?
The cynic in me thinks Microsoft is doing this because when you reset Windows, your custom settings will be reset back to Microsoft defaults that are optimised for Microsoft's revenue streams (e.g. Microsoft Edge/Bing as the default browser and search engine). For users with local accounts, they can also take another opportunity to push logging in with a Microsoft account. Microsoft doesn't get that benefit when you repair a PC with System Restore or Automatic Registry Backups.
You know, you might be on to something. I hadn't even thought about that.
This would also solve the problem of technicians debloating a system for a customer. If the customer resets it all the bloat comes back.
That is an interesting thought. The cynic in me thought they were doing it because they'll need fewer Microsoft employees to support it. Reducing headcount is wall streets absolutely favorite thing to do.
I had a really obscure registry bug that plagued me for a whole month untill i found a manual edit solution. One of my early access games crashed & windows along with it. Upon bootup there somehow had become a near 2 second long delay of audio playback. Not that audio was out of sync but it was annoying not having any audio the first 2 seconds of a YT video for example. Had to manually mess around inside Realtek regedit setting to fix it because Window "repair" did nothing. Dont get me wrong i know its a "self inflicted" playing "test" state alpha, beta & early access software, but it also speaks volumes about how huge & unstable windows has become to the point where its simply easier to do a complete fresh reinstall than trying to troubleshoot.
And I thought it was just me it literally happened to me two weeks ago I know I never turned it off and I made sure to turn it on you months ago
Love that you summarized the steps and made it easily visible.
Windows 11 actually comes with System Restore enabled for the system disk, enabled it for my Home disk as well
I have actually just installed both Windows 10 and 11 (both are 22H2) on the same computer as a dual boot and both had System Restore turned on by default - I just had to set a percentage for the amount of space I wanted to reserve.
since I have rollback rx enabled...if I make f-8 enabled will it cause booting of my windows 11 problems????
I have no idea. Not even sure what rollback rx is.
Saw this video pop up in recommended, checked the status of system restore...and it was disabled. Even though I distinctly remember enabling it months ago on all drives (which all have well over 10% free space).
I still don't know for sure why Microsoft disables it on some systems and not others. It's bizarre.
I have been using Macrium Reflect to make a disk image of my computer. Over the years it has save me time and time again. No need for registry backups. Whenever I make any changes to my pc, which is often, I run a series of checks to make sure everything is ok - then I made a disk image. If I have any problem, like unable to boot into windows, I am able to use the startup menu which has the Macrium option, or a USB stick with the Macrium recovery on it. I can restore a 60GB system in about 5 minutes. I have used it scores of times and never had a problem restoring my pc.
I use this program as well and it works great!
I do a full backup image every two weeks and then an incremental backup every say set up automatically. The best part about it is that it gives you a Macrium rescue option on boot instead of going into booting windows. I don't trust Microsoft to backup anything properly in a way that it can actually be restored and working and I don't know that I ever will. I test my Macrium backups on a regular basis and they always work and usually take less then 10 mins to finish
I was with you until I tried to open the config folder in Windows/System32... which is empty and shows as zero bytes. I suspect that somehow I need to turn on administrator access, arrgh. M$ hates their customers.
Yes, you need to be an administrator.
I tried the F8 regedit when i changed it, forgetting my Bios uses F8 for Boot option in the bios. Dam it
Run this command as admin:
bcdedit /timeout
Replace with the number of seconds you want Windows to display the boot menu before booting into your installation. This way, if you press Up on your keyboard, the timer will stop and you can press F8 to enter advanced boot options.
Yes, my system has the same issue. You have to time the F8 menu just right. It took me 3 tries in the video to get it. 😂🤣
Great advice.
I remember falling into that boot loop rabbit hole several months ago. And the similar disappointments of not seeing any file size on regback and no restorepoints.
Like you, I had to make a fresh install but was able to get most of my programs and all of my data using a combination of pctrans and laplink by connecting the bootlooped hard drive as an external drive. I really hate having to re-activate and fetch for all the keys most of my programs had or even worse, discontinued, so props for easus pctrans for saving me some time lol... But overall, it took a lot longer than it should have just because they disabled regback...
I dont have the function of Pressing Ctrl Alt and Delete could you make a video of putting it back in on windows 10.Thanks
Not sure what you're referring to. Do you mean making people hit cont alt delete before they log in?
I checked the new installation of Windows 11 22H2 on a new computer I just built and the system restore point is set to on already. It looks like Microsoft has fixed this feature.
it was set to off on my windows 11 22h2 only just turned it on so no and i had a new install not so long ago
Ancient Tech. Windows is on the way to a life exclusively on a virtual machine in a REAL OS
It does on my computers.
Thanks for sharing these. BUT I have news for you. I does not need a new Task for it. I only need the registry Dword EnablePeriodicBackup and BackupCount ; Than go to the Task "\Microsoft\Windows\Registry\RegIdleBackup" and made changes on it. It still have no trigger - so add a daily trigger on itself and you ready to go. I testet on Windows 11 (22H2) [WinVer: 22621.1992].
If you could make a batch file to install all that, that would be handy
The reason the orginal task will not run is because there are no triggers to start it off
You said that you would put the commands in the description. But the description don't have any commands.
Sorry, I forgot. They are there now.
Guess why it is not working in task scheduler, no trigger is set
As a computer tech, you've saved my ass- sorry, my day.
Glad it's helpful.
the task was not running automatically so thank you for that. ( I manualy back up my registry from time to time so i didnt notice)
Glad it helped.
That task on my machine... had no triggers... it seemed it could just have automated triggers added to it to get it to run.
still not working on W11 23H2, unfortunately
Thanks for your tips. Unfortunately, the last tip about bcdedit /Set {Current} BootMenuPolicy Legacy didn't work for me. I'm using Windows 11 Pro on a desktop. Any suggestions? Thank you.
Unfortunately I haven't tested it on Windows 11. I've had a few people comment that it didn't work. It might not be available for Windows 11. I would have to play with it.
@CyberCPU Tech F8 did nothing for me either (Win11 PRO)
Is there any way to setup the triggers on automatic registry backup to be lockstepped with whenever a restore point is created?
When you make a restore point it backs up the registry already itself in another way. Unfortunately you can't access that backup without restoring the restore point.
One request for you... before the last 2 Windows updates, all sites were able to get Notifications on the screen. It seems impossible to get Notifications from erotic or Cam sites. Do you know something about it?. Could it be Microsoft’s blocking sexually explicit sites?. Thanks in advance.
I typically disable notifications completely inside of Chrome and edge. They're almost entirely used for spam. I don't know anything about what Microsoft allows or disallows.
@@CyberCPU I recall something about restriction to such sites some time ago.. asked in their forum but no response so far. Anyway, thank you and keep the good work up.

How to make a recovery partition on win10. Make a video on this
Windows should make the recovery partition for you during setup. If something happens to the recovery partition you can just reinstall the same version of Windows over the top of itself and it will recreate the recovery partition.

@@three36ixx glad they have helped.
still annoyed they abandoned file history.
File history still works.
@@CyberCPU Kinda, when it goes wrong its hard to fix and very opaque, eventually I just switched to freefilesync.
@@churblefurbles I still use file history for backup on customer systems. It's free, built in, and easy to configure.
Great tip. Unfortunately I had a non-recoverable situation when it seemed my Win10 system locked up and after I hit my reset switch...no more booting and system recovery did not work. So I have to re-install windows and re-install all the apps. At least all the files were still in my User directory. I do hate windows some times.
Make sure it wasn't hardware failure. Check the smart data on your hard drive.
reset most the time doesn't work we'll
I can honestly say I've never actually tried it before. I typically do everything I can to save the OS. Because from a customer service perspective it makes it better for my customers. However, when I can't save the OS I just backup and reload the traditional way.
@@CyberCPU I've used it a few times on corrupted installs, and yes, the same issues exist after the so-called "reset".
I wipe and install from a USB drive, and all the issues go away.
So I never use the function.
I dont do any of that crap, im old school, Windows has an issue? Reinstall it all, fresh.
Sounds like a lot of work. In most cases it's easier to just fix Windows instead of reloading.
I'm currently working on a series of videos showing how to fix common problems that would lead people to reload normally. They should start coming out in a week or two.
@@CyberCPU Oh I agree, im just OCD.
Microsoft use AOL support team . more likey all tied to india support team.
I wouldn't doubt it. 😂🤣
I think My Crow Sauft has development in Israel too.😳🙄 Kinda unsettling when you hear what Brendon Lee O'Connell has to say about it!!!
Restarted and my regback says empty!! Did not do a registry backup!!
Did you follow the whole guide? You have to make the custom task in task manager for it to work. The built-in registry backup task is broken. You have to call the task from a new task.
@@CyberCPU Gotcha!! It worked!! Thanks!!
system restore diabled on SSD's, on HDD's it's enable by default
On the install of Windows 10 22H2 on the system I used to film the video it was a fresh install on an SSD and system restore was enabled. I disabled it specifically for the example in the video.
@@CyberCPU Thx man, love watching ur vid
I keep asking my self why would Microsoft do that?
I'm wondering the same thing.
Too many kooks in da kitchen!!!😂🤣😆
Got the registry hack working fine, but booting with Win 11 to an M.2 ssd goes so fast,, I never have a chance to hit F8 lol
Yes, that's a problem for sure. Good problem to have though. 😂🤣
just spam it as fast as you can lol
Clone the M.2 to an old spinning 5400 rpm drive, that should work.
My PC upgraded to Win 11. These instructions state to create a new task and to select win 10. My PC does not have Win 11 as an option. I'll give it a try.
Using Windows 10 should work. Let me know if you have issues.
@@CyberCPU I don't know yet but I now have Win11, it was forced on me. I used your tutorial to make it much like win10 but the OS just looks more like win10. This video was just 2 days too late for me. I had to use Acronis to restore my PC but it took all night to restore from an image. FWY I am a MSCE 2000 but that was 20 years ago and I've been retired for 7 years. I've forgotten much of what I knew. Also I look forward to seeing new videos from you. Thanks for that!
@@CyberCPU It took 24 hours for the registry backup to start but I may not have followed the instructions correctly, maybe because of win11? I'm breathing much easier now. ruclips.net/user/results?search_query=thiojoe had a discount on Acronis, I used it. I wish I didn't use the code. Acronis will auto bill in February 2024 but I want to prevent that. They do not provide a link in my account to change that setting! Frustrating! Acronis used to be a great company.
about 11:35 You left no code(s) in the description or any pinned comment(s).
They are there now. Sorry, I forgot.
@@CyberCPU no problem, we all are humans and we do this time to time.
Oooooor.. and hear me out, In the Registry, navigate to whatever Hive Branch you want and go to File > Export.
I think Microsoft got tired of the constant hand-holding they did with people potentially breaking Windows via the Registry.
But, yeah, I don't recall any modern and recent computer just outright refusing to boot up into the OS normally.
The new way to get into Safe Mode is: holding Shift when you restart OR going into Settings > (System >) Recovery > Advanced Startup > Safe Mode.
This is what happens when there is no real competition in the market, the biggest reason for capitalism is out of whack and no longer works, no more chasing and fighting for their clientele with quality and good service.
There is real competition, it's just not as good as Windows.
I'm not sure what a genuinely competitive operating system to Windows would look like. I know it would be a support nightmare. Also, you would need all software publishers to support both.
Conflict Capitalism Helps with "Job Security"!!! 😂🤣😆

@@fookingsog Why don't you use morse code so I can decipher what your post means, are you short on real words?.
@CyberCPU
I am familiar with editing the Registry, But the F8 registry doesn't work. I have tripled checked everything. Do you know it could not be working? Any suggestions ???
Thanks
Excellent video, thank you.
I use Win 11 and set "BackupCount" to 2 (as you in the video), but there is only one folder called "RegBack". Even when I manually run "RegIdleBackup" it's only updating the already existing files in RegBack. Where can I find the second backup?
that reg update feature could have been very helpful during that barco clickshare/MS 365 problem in january 23, where an api have broken the registy, but thanks to MS... Sometimes i think MS is having fun torturing Sysadmins. Beside that, thanks for the very informative video, I didn't knowed that that it is disabled since 1803. Greetings from germany 😀
You are UNBELIEVABLY FANTASTIC! I like the fact that you dummy it down for people like me that only know enough to be dangerous. THANK YOU!!
Thanks so far ! everything went smoothly ..except !: de BCD bonus I followed the steps but starting up in F8 I got my 'old' pop up ? Bonus Question :) : my PC (win 10) started since a couple of days with so now and then a 'single beep' ..any ideas?
You should turn off Fast Startup as well. Otherwise your Power Off is not really turning the computer off.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Power
HiberbootEnabled DWORD
0 = Turn off fast startup
1 = Turn on fast startup
Your description says To change back to new menu
bcdedit /Set {Current} BootMenuPolicy Standard
but you said change 'Legacy' to 'regular' to. Which is correct to use?
DISAPPOINTED: The Safe Mode return trick didn't work. I did exactly as instructed, and checked it twice, but nothing happens when F8 is depressed. Windows 10 Pro boots as it did before.
When setting up the new task called ‘AutoRegBackup”
The pulldown window to select operating system does not have ‘Windows 11’.
Can I select Windows 10 instead?
Hmmmm... I try to open "CONFIG" and NOTHING HAPPENS! Computer will not open that folder and no message as to why not.
