Windows 10: Blue Screen + no back up registry, can I copy a version of a slightly older registry from...

Blue Screen + no back up registry, can I copy a version of a slightly older registry from drive I upgraded from?


Hi all, yeah blue screen, "Critical Process Died", PC refuses to boot I've tried everything (from within WRE with recovery / installation media):

1. sfc /scannow, returns some kind of error
2. System Restore doesn't work
3. Can't enter safe mode
4. DISM doesn't work
5. Rebuild MBR doesn't work
6. Regback has been deleted to "reduce footprint size" 1803-1809 forward (whilst leaving bloatware in place)
7. Also, Automatic Repair does not work.

I believe the issue is that the registry has become severely corrupted, hence nothing working.

I upgraded from 500GB Samsung 850 Evo to Sabrent 2TB about a month ago, luckily I didn't wipe the older instance of the OS and can still use the PC without having to reinstall Windows. Problem is, I have about 1TB of games that I don't wish to redownload on the Sabrent Rocket (which I can still see and access once within Windows)

Question: is there anyway to somehow repair the registry of the newer instance of Windows on the Sabrent Rocket 2TB with the registry from the slightly older version of itself from 500GB SSD?

Thanks for any help with this.

Custom Registry Files

Techpowerup nor myself are in no way responsible for anything that may or may not go wrong with a users system if s/he decides to use these registry hacks. You are doing so at your own risk and agree to release me and or Techpowerup from fault that may occur. If a user decides to use these registry hacks, you must BACKUP YOUR REGISTRY FIRST!

To backup your registry click Start>Run (or use windows search from the start menu) and type "Regedit" without quotes. Click on File>Export. Name the file whatever you wish and save it somewhere that is NOT on your Windows drive.

Contained inside the attached RAR file you will find 13 registry hacks. They are:

• Copy To - Adds Copy To to the right click context menu
• Move To - Adds Move To to the right click context menu
• Enable Balloon Notification - Self explanatory
• Disable Balloon Notification - Self explanatory
• Extended UI Hover Time - Despite its name it decreases the time it takes to preview a thumbnail
• Instant Aero Peek - Self explanatory
• Last Active Click - If you have multiple of the same program open, click the icon and it will bring to you your last open window of that program. Click again and you can cycle through.
• Menu Show Delay - Decreases the time it takes for the start menu to appear
• Move Kernel - Moves the Windows Kernel from the HDD to memory increasing system performance slightly.
• Stop Snap - Disables the Windows 7 Snap feature (when you drag a window to the corner of the screen)
• Stop Space Checking - Keeps Windows from constantly checking disk space
• USB Write Protect - Disallows Windows to write to any USB device but will still allow the device to be read from.
• Wait To Kill Service Timeout - Decreases the time it takes windows to wait for a program to fully close before shutting down.

I have tested all but Move Kernel, Stop Space Checking, and USB Write Protect and they all work 100%. If you open up the registry file I provide, it will give you more information on where the key specifically is along with some information on what it does. Obviously the Aero Peek and Hover time hacks will not work on versions of Windows earlier than 7.

I got the Copy To and Move to from How To Geek and the rest I just Googled and turned into a registry file for convenience. Not sure how many of you guys will need this but i found some new registry hacks that Ill be using now while doing this so I thought I would share with the community. Make me good for something. *Roll Eyes

If I come across more Ill edit this post and upload the new zip. Feel free as well to tell us any registry hacks you use and I could even add them to the list. *Smile

Enjoy!
