Tweaking.com Support & Help / Restore Single Registry Key

« on: May 12, 2020, 01:23:05 pm »

Is it possible to browse your backed up registries or restore a single folder / key instead of the whole registry?  I ask because I made a new Windows installation, so i don't want to overwrite my whole registry with my old install, but I do need specific keys pertaining to apps I've reinstalled.
Thanks.

What I mean by "clean install" is that, when I've restored in the past, there are no programs on my start menu and all Windows settings are reset to default.  I've never tried the rstui command, so maybe that'll allow me to restore to a more recent point that has a proper start menu etc?  I'll try it.  Hope it works, since you got an error msg.

What do you mean by 1803 & 1709?  U talking about Windows builds?

If I use the restore point function it will make it so it looks like a clean install of windows.  I definitely don't want this.  I've done it before and can't get it back to normal after I do a restore point.  Unless you know how to do it so it doesn't look clean and will restore from actual good last boot.  Can I restore registry w/o being in windows any way?

I do have a registry backup from after I did the windows fix when all the start menu items were blank, but at least it boots.  Maybe I can work backwards if I can get it to boot?  Can I restore the registry from boot without booting into windows somehow?

Hey.

I used Windows repair to run all it's fixes because I was having an issue with one of my file extensions not opening with the correct program.  Then I reboot my Windows 10 comp and my start menu icons were all blank.  So I did a registry restore from my latest backup from Tweaking registry.  Now my comp won't boot and it hangs at "Diagnosing Your PC" after it blue screens me with sideways face once.

I've tried running chkdsk & scannow but nothing works.  Can I fix this with Tweaking Windows repair or do I have to do something from my windows 10 boot usb?

Any help asap is appreciated!  Hoping I don't have to clear my HDD ;-(
