Not all novice users know what a "Registry Editor" is on a PC and how to run it. Today we will consider what this built-in service is for, as well as how to open it on Windows 10 in all possible ways.
The registry in Windows OS is a large database that stores in an ordered form all the current settings of both embedded and third-party programs on the PC, and the entire operating system as a whole. During the operation of the computer, the system constantly turns to it for the necessary information.
The registry was created to increase the speed of the OS. It constantly changes while working on the PC, makes records of errors and failures in the system. Over time, the registry becomes clogged and can slow down the computer.
"Registry Editor" is a system application that allows you to view registry entries, as well as change them. In the editor, you can configure parameters that are not available in the user interface. With this service, you can:
configure your PC to work at full capacity;
make it work slowly;
open utilities that have not been started before;
set new OS configuration parameters;
clean the registry from unnecessary files that are left over from long-deleted programs and much more.
Note that editing the registry is a risky activity, since you can damage or delete the keys that are needed for the normal functioning of the OS. Make a copy of the registry so that you can restore everything to its original state if a failure occurs after changing the registry entries.
