Thank you. But how do I make a backup copy of my Windows 10 registry please?
In this case you shouldn't need a backup, but you can right click a key in the articles case right click on Windows and select Export and save the .reg file. If for some reason you needed to restore it you can double click the reg file and it will import the old settings.
