Windows 10 Automatic Registry Backup

Post by MaloK »

hi,

Since a couple versions Windows 10 Stopped Maintaining Backups of your registry in the RegBack Folder...
For those who rely on this when S*** hits the F** you're in for an... Empty folder there...

<Rant>
I dont know what kind of Microsoft Certified Genius it takes to have such a brillant idea of doing this :great:

But yeah. Lesson learned, WS is down no way to repair going back to 7 on that one, Shame M$, Shame.

...and... HOW COME THE SYSTEM HIVE CAN GET CUT BY HALF ON A CLEAN SHUTDOWN ??? Shaaame M$, Shaaame.
