Issues addressed in this tutorial:

Bad System Config Info is a common bug check error on Windows systems, caused mainly by a malfunctioning of the system and registry files or the Boot Configuration Data (BCD) file. Some boot order files in the BCD, or even some older ones, may conflict with newer, stable files. When this happens, the error otherwise known as the Blue Screen of Death (BSoD) occurs.

There may be a little more information about the cause of the error. Fixes include updating the system drivers, repairing the Windows registry, and rebuilding the Boot Configuration Data (BCD).

This tutorial will apply for computers, laptops, desktops, and tablets running the Windows 7, Windows 8/8.1, Windows 10 and Windows 11 operating systems (Home, Professional, Enterprise, Education) from all supported hardware manufactures, like Dell, HP, Acer, Asus, Toshiba, Lenovo, Huawei and Samsung.

Thank you soooo much, the last method worked for me, but the letter I had to type at the beginning was “D” in my case and not “C”, and the rest I just followed your tutorial exactly and it worked! And then when it got to the “copy *.* ..” part towards the end, instead of the letter “A” for all, since my computer is in Spanish, I had to type “T” for “Todo” (means “all” in Spanish). This was super helpful

When I do the alst thing, when I get to RegBack... I have 0 files and 2 dirs.
And when I try to do the copy, it says "System can't find the given file"

Starting in Windows 10 release 1803, the registry is no longer backed up. So that won't work. Lovely....
