Windows Registry As Fast As Possible

Показать описание

The Windows Registry is mystifying to many users. What does it do, and are Registry "errors" really a problem?

As fast as possible isn't fast enough for me, so I increase video speed by at least 1.5x.

This channel has taught me so many things about computers. It is amazing for someone who is keen on becoming a tech geek and study computer science like myself ! Thank you Techquickie !

Other changes people can do in the registry;
* Change / reset timers and other expiries stored in registry
* Delete / Modify persistent program settings normally inaccessible by conventional means
* Make available other features normally handled by GPEdit on home systems

For some users tho long to have some older Windows feature, the registry can be a place to enable these features. Also, for more dubious purposes... you're on your own, but you know what to search for. ;)

I'm somewhat surprised you didn't touch up on why the registry makes the PC slower over time as you install and install programs, or just daily using some programs that abuse the registry. And no mention of why Microsoft's move to UWP (Universal Windows Platform) for app/applications is important going forward.

So, while Linux pointed out that the registry does indeed make it easy for some apps to 'talk' to each other, there are some software that just abuses the registry for more then just leaving settings in there, some will load up the registry with masses of amounts of data that has to be loaded and managed regardless every time your PC starts up. Or when you uninstall a program the uninstaller doesn't know what additional registry settings were added while you were using the program and just leaves them there. Some programs such as Microsoft's own Visual Studio make use of the registry so much, that it increases the registry size by over 50MB just from installation, with the majority of them not being cleaned up after an uninstall.

Microsoft's move to UWP allows developers to lock in a registry to their own app instance, so any registry changes are kept with the program, only loaded with the program, and completely removed with the program. This helps keep the system a lot cleaner and faster over time, with less need to use cleaners.

The registry is probably the number one thing that 'slows' down a PC over time, and why fresh installs of Windows feel faster.

Good general intro to this subject. I found myself editing this bugger time and again for corporate users. Been so long, I can't even remember the specifics. I loved taken the "sledge hammer" approach and deleting whole sections within particular branches. Amazingly enough, sometimes they'd rebuild themselves. Other times I was merely manually removing residual from uninstalled programs.

This was a great introduction! I would love seeing you give even more details on registry editing, maybe you wanna do a "Top 10 most useful registry edits"? I have no doubt it will be amazing because you are so excellent at understanding UX issues and so I'm sure you have in mind every little detail that you would want to fix in Windows. So dig into those Google searches for the best ideas... I found this reg edit that lets you change the icon of of the different drives, so I put a picture of the HDD and SSD and a diagram of RAID0... I thought it was pretty and kind of smart ass thing... Btw I say that you are so excellent at UX because I saw your video of upgrading the iMac... You were so amazing at picking up every single detail about the differences between mac and Windows... You even found a couple of things I never notice but I agreed with everything it was so much fun watching! Love you and thanks!

The problem with the registry is that although it allows for customization it is painful to navigate and not particularly user-friendly. Microsoft should make it easier to work with the registry graphically; - for example, customizing the context menus, what comes up when you go to the "New" menu by right-clicking etc.That would be awesome.

You're an amazing creator. I learned so much from this short video!

I'm an old Network Admin. From the beginning... I have hated the Registry-File. It's just an Access database file. And as such... Prone to the the same problems of bloat and optimization problems when grown beyond a certain size!!!

Thank God Linux has not taken the same path!!!!
