How to restore registry values?

Hello,

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

You can perform system restore and check if it helps:

Perform System restore.

I suggest you to perform system restore and select a date prior to the changes which was done with the registry values and check if the issue gets fixed.

To perform System restore:

• Press Windows key + X, select
  System.
• In the left pane, click on System Protection.
• Select the option to system restore
  > next. It will show all restore points already created.
• Select the date prior to the date on which you have made the registry changes.

Registry disclaimer

To do so: Important this section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow these
steps carefully. For added protection, back up the registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click the following article number to view the article

System Restore - Safe?

In a word, no. System restore only effects the OS and the system registry--not user data/programs.

I do a Gutmann's erase before I give a computer to anyone else. It takes freakin' forever (days) but there is almost no chance data can be recovered from it afterwards.

Fastest would be a one-pass zero erase (takes about an 30-60 min).

The best in between is DoD 5220.22-M compliant erase (three pass--one pass character, one pass character compliement, one pass random character). It takes 2-3 hours. An example is: 0x00, 0xFF, 0x88

 

System restore took over 3 hours

Unable to boot into windows 10 after a failed windows update.

Unsuccessfully tried everything I could find on internet before attempting a system restore.

Set up a system restore and all seemed to be going well. However, one hour passed and I was still watching the green bar move and seeing the same windows is restoring message.

Just about every thread I read suggested it should take 30 to 45 minutes and if it did not work in three hours, it was frozen.

Well, for some odd reason it took my PC over three hours but worked? Cannot tell you how many times I was about to hit the power button, but my patience paid off.

The moral of the story. A system restore can take over 3 hours and restore your PC.

Now I can back up some of the things I never did.
