    Messed up hexadecimal value of a certain registry


    Yesterday, i made a foolish mistake of messing with my registry. Now i usually know my way around the registry, but that's not the problem. The problem is that i messed up the hexadecimal value of the mouse setting, specifically the 'Smoothmousexcurve' and 'smoothmouseycurve'. I only tinkered with the hexadecimal value and now my mouse is crazy fast and well... These are the new and current values i have which aren't really working well:


    SmoothMouseXCurve:
    00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00
    00,a0,00,00,00,00,00,00
    00,40,01,00,00,00,00,00
    00,80,02,00,00,00,00,00
    00,00,05,00,00,00,00,00

    SmoothMouseYCurve:
    00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00
    66,a6,02,00,00,00,00,00
    cd,4c,05,00,00,00,00,00
    a0,99,0a,00,00,00,00,00
    38,33,15,00,00,00,00,00

    If anyone could tell me the default hexadecimal value of these two registry entries then i would be very grateful. Oh, and i just signed up on this site, so forgive me if it's not in the right category although i believe it maybe.

    The entries can be found by going to: HKEY_Current_User>Control Panel>Mouse



    EDIT: I just rechecked and the hexadecimal values i entered were off by one digit. Well, goddamn, my mouse is working like a charm again.

    :)

    Hi

    I had the same issue and came across your original post and follow up question when searching for an answer. I'm in much the same boat as you having never really messed around with registry before, but decided to risk it and see what would happen if I just
    added the missing shutdownwithoutlogon value. It worked!

    • So navigate to the same key in the registry; HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System
    • >right click>New>DWORD (32-bit) Value
    • Call it 'shutdownwithoutlogon' and with base set to hexadecimal set the value to 1.
    • Restart and hopefully all will be good.
    Maybe you already worked this out too but hope this helps somebody.

    Windows 10 keeps adding extra keyboard layout?

    Hello, I did found a solution though it's not easy and it's risky. For me, there was an invalid keyword inside the Windows registry. Maybe it appeared with a bug in an older version of Windows? I did try many insider builds.

    You have to search inside the windows registry for every value of the invalid keyboard hexadecimal value you want to remove. I replaced those values with the hexadecimal valie of the keyboard I whished.

    For exemple, my keyboard was 0x109. If you want, I could provide more information tomorrow.
