Question Registry Repair Command Line

[spinningstill]

Is there a way to fix the registry via the command line? Would like to fix computer not so much concerned about breaking it as I am keeping the data. Dell laptop.

Yes you can do registry edits via CLI or at least PowerShell. Rather than doing that I would recommend downloading something like Mint Linux and putting it on a bootable USB stick. From there you can boot to Linux and plug in a removable HDD and transfer the files from the laptop to the external drive and then just reinstall Windows. Overall that will be faster and easier.

How have you determined what, exactly, is wrong in the Reg?

The Linux works but I don't have another HDD to plug in. Most all my tools are in storage (the housing market in St Louis has proven to be difficult).

The Reg? Yes, I get a registry file missing or errors and the code is 0xc0000225

Also get a windows installation detected 0.

Missing registry means corrupted file system or corrupted/unreadable registry.
You fix it by using system restore. This restores registry from previously stored registry backup.

If registry backup is not available, then your only option is reinstall. No magical fixing of missing registry.

For $50 you can go to Best Buy and get a 1TB external HDD. Odds are you don't need that much storage so $30 gets you a 256GB Flash Drive. Neither of these things take up much space.

Thank you I realized my camera memory cards work.

Grace and peace.
