registry

Greetings. New to the forum. Not new to Windows. For the past year, I've been using my personal laptop for work. I had two Office365 Profiles -- personal, and work. I've deleted the work profile, and have scoured the Registry for every instance of my former employer's name, and have removed...

Hey guys, I have a strange behavior on my system: I manually select date format to be dd.mm.yy and after every reboot, or even randomly while using the computer it resets itself to dd/mm/yy. This is driving me crazy. I even tried to edit the registry key manually but it's not helping it...

I'm setting up my new Windows 11 Pro rig and I was wanting to be able to display more pinned apps on the Start menu. I checked the internet and it says to go to settings/personalization/start and there will see Layout which will allow me to increase the number of apps shown. There's also a...

The available space on my C "system" volume was low, so I moved the Users folder to my D "data" volume and edited the registry accordingly. After rebooting, I logged in to my "1st" account and checked everything was okay. So far, so good. Then I rebooted and tried to log in to my "2nd"...

Where are the key combinations you assign for a shortcut to start a program stored? For instance if I go to the properties of a program icon and assign Ctrl-Alt-S as a shortcut, where in the registry is it stored? I have one, and only one program the shortcut key stopped working. If I try to...

Hi, I've been struggling with this for days. We set up a 2022 Server as a RDP server for a few users to connect to as virtual desktops. At that time, we did not have CALs yet, so I could not connect it to a license manager. By the time I received the CALs, the grace period had passed and users...

Hello, I'm wanting to upgrade from Win10 Home to Pro, so I went to the start area and entered Update, then clicked "Check for updates". The screen that popped up had a few icons in the upper right-hand corner, one being Windows Update. Below those words I see Attention needed. When I click...

I am setting up a virtual machine to host a Windows XP environment with specific legacy software to replace a customer's broken Dell MTC2 desktop. I used Disk2vhd to generate a VHD from the customer's IDE hard disk and created the virtual machine with VirtualBox. The system begins to boot but...

I'm currently having trouble with Windows 10 "insisting" on temporary profiles. I started my troubleshooting when it decided to fail to run windows store apps. All I wanted to do that day, was take a video with my camera app. I ended up doing it with my android phone, then waiting for it to...

I found this on Reddit very handy as I do not like the new right click menus. The new explorer menu is not too bad but I disabled anyway. No 3rd-party apps or patches or whatever, just a simple registry value. Run the commands in your preferred command line restart explorer shell to take...

Hi, After many attempts I still can't remove the start-up password from my laptop. Its a password with complex requirements (like AAAaaa1234@$%^#) that needs to be changed every 2 months. That's way too much trouble just for editing bird pictures on this old machine and annoying to use for...

Users can disable "Fast" Boot" in BIOS. But is there a way to check from a running Windows 10 if "Fast Boot" is currently enabled or not? Assume the local Windows 10 Pro was previously installed WITH enabled "Fast Boot" in UEFI-BIOS. Later (after installation) I disabled "Fast Boot". Will this...

Hi first things first: nothing irrelevant like changing your ISP (not possible), constant phone line services (they don't care) or anything of the sort we simply have a very bad internet (that has surprisingly good down bandwidth 8Mbit) we can only tinker with hoping windows will be more...

Hello, for some reason like an idiot a few days ago I followed a tutorial to save some frames on a game and it told me to copy my local windows ipv4 address and replace that value in DhpIPAddress in the registry ...

I think it may have been called WordWheelQuery in Windows 7. I skipped 8 and 10 so I don't know if it changed. I've managed to disable search history in WIndows 11. But I'd like to also disable the folder path history as well. Is there a way? Anyone know the regedit entries I need to edit?
