I came across this today on Windows Central and wanted to share.

How to create Windows 10 system restore points automatically on startup

TX Don.

For those who skim read, let me just rephrase the quote in the document:

Warning: This is a friendly reminder that editing the Registry is risky, and it can cause irreversible damage to your installation if you don't do it correctly. It's recommended to make a full backup of your PC before proceeding.

PS: Interesting they point to a full backup of the PC and not just a backup export of the current registry setting.

If the system is unbootable a registry backup is useless. Also, perhaps it is because if you add a registry backup (.reg file) Regedit does a merge not a replace. If you added something to the registry just adding a backup file will not remove it.

That exposes my knowledge gap on this Windows stuff.
TX for the insights Joe.
