Windows 10: Adding a reg file for start-up in the mornings.

I am the only user of my computer & @ 82 y.o.; it’ my link to the outside world. Is there a .reg file that I can download & add to
my computer to bypass Windows logon every morning? My computer is running Windows 10 Pro Version10.0.18363.
I had to do a recovery of the o.s. after being hacked on Face Book’s Messenger. Windows Defender didn’t catch it!
I did a search online for one & the page on this forum had so many it was all confusing to me. I don't have a college degree in computer science, I just want to fire up my computer each morning without a hassle of inputting data!

Import reg file in a batch file

I suggest that, as a first step, you edit the batch file so it captures the errorlevel after the reg import command.

- Something simple such asecho The reg import command result is - %ErrorLevel% will do as long as long as you put it in as the line straight after the reg import command and then put aPause command in as the next line [before restarting explorer] so you can have a look.

- Checking the errorlevel will tell you whether reg import thinks it has completed correctly or not.
- While you are checking the errorlevel you could also go to the Registry key [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Search] to see what has happened to it [make sure you Refresh the view if you were already at that key beforehand]



I have never used reg import but I know there are optional arguments for 32/64 bit items so perhaps you might investigate them
- enter reg import /? >RegImport.txt in a command prompt to save the Help guidance that mentions these switches.
- I do not think these switches are relevant but I have never investigated their use properly.
- For all I know, the problem might be as simple as reg import not being able to handle the comment lines, such as ; Cartella utente, properly

Best of luck,
Denis

 

Windows 10 regedit cannot import a reg file

This is an old question but see that the original poster never replied to your question. I have the same problem.

Windows 10, 64 bit, reg file is a ".reg" extension. The reg file was an export from the notepad registry item and am trying to force settings on my end users with the reg-hack when they login. I get the same error as the gentleman above and am not sure how
to solve it. I have done reg hacks for many years with Win98-Win7 without any issues.

I have also opened the reg hack up with notepad and re-saved so the file isn't corrupted. I am also admin for our entire ms network which I thought might be the problem. I also added a command line switch "/reg:64" which one poster suggested would solve
it but while the error goes away and it appears to run, nothing in the registry actually changes.

Thanks in advance if you're still listening (I hope)!
