Starting with the April 2018 Update (version 1803), Windows 10 stopped backing up the registry automatically to the RegBack<\/em> folder, and Microsoft encourages users to use a system restore point<\/a> in the event of registry corruption. Navigating to the Windows\\System32\\config\\RegBack<\/em> folder and you’ll find that it’s empty.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This change<\/a> is by design, and is intended to help reduce the overall disk footprint size of Windows. For those who still want to restore the functionality of creating registry backup automatically, here is a registry tweak to turn on automatic registry backup in Windows 10.<\/p>\n

How to Turn on Automatic Registry Backup in Windows 10<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Press the Windows key + R to open the Run dialog, type regedit<\/strong> and hit Enter to launch Registry Editor.\n

    \"\"\n<\/li>\n

  2. Browse to this key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SYSTEM\\CurrentControlSet\\Control\\Session Manager\\Configuration Manager<\/code>. On the right pane, right-click on blank space and select New<\/strong> -> DWORD (32-bit) Value<\/strong>.\n

    \"\"\n<\/li>\n

  3. Name the new DWORD EnablePeriodicBackup<\/strong>. Next, double-click it and set the value to 1.\n

    \"\"\n<\/li>\n

  4. After a reboot, Windows 10 will automatically backup the registry to the RegBack<\/em> folder, and create a RegIdleBackup<\/em> task to manage subsequent backups.<\/li>\n
  5. If you need to create backups of the registry manually, just open Task Scheduler<\/a> and navigate to Microsoft\\Windows\\Registry<\/em>. Right-click on the RegIdleBackup<\/strong> task and select Run<\/strong>.\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    It will immediately save your registry to the Windows\\System32\\config\\RegBack<\/em> folder.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    That’s how you can easily turn on automatic registry backup in Windows 10. When your registry gets damaged and corrupted, you can restore the registry backup to the folder Windows\\System32\\Config<\/em> with a Live CD<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
