Windows 10: Backing up Registry in Windows 10: Error message indicates failure, but .reg file is created

I tried to back up my Registry by export before adding an entry, but when I did so, I got an error message

saying "cannot export ...... Error writing the file. There may be a disk or file system error." I tried three times with the same result. However, a .reg file was created by these attempts. I have to assume that that file is not complete, right? Or is the error message likely to be false? Can anyone shed light on what is going on here?

:)

 

Windows 10 regedit cannot import a reg file

I save a reg file in a directory with no spaces. I want to import back into the Windows 10 registry but receive an error message:

Cannot import <filename>.reg: Error accessing the registry.

I am running as Administrator and have full control.

What's wrong?

BSOD - Registry Error

Your BSOD code is 0X000000051

Here's the Google search I did for it: https://www.google.com/search?q=0x0...j5.399j0j7&sourceid=chrome&es_sm=122&ie=UTF-8

There is a hotfix available that might help, https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/810558

This thread makes a few good suggestions too: http://www.sevenforums.com/bsod-hel...dows-7-pro-sp1-registry-error-0x00000051.html

+1 to listing your full system specs, OS version, etc. I did only look at your BSOD log file.

Run a Diskchk /R (I know you already ran one, so you can skip this)

Run SFC /SCANNOW

Report back.

Notes

To open Registry Editor, click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
Choosing Last Known Good Configuration provides a way to recover from problems such as a newly added driver that may be incorrect for your hardware. It does not solve problems caused by corrupted or missing drivers or files.
When you choose Last Known Good Configuration, Windows restores information in registry key HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet only. Any changes you have made in other registry keys remain.
