Dear Mr Vanderpool. I am a computer scientist and have been working in IT security as malware analyst for 6 years. I decided to keep learning by watching one technical video every day and that's how I found your channel as I was looking for things on Windows internals. Thank you very much for your videos. I like especially the old ones with the lectures because it feels like sitting in a class room again and your teaching style is very engaging and passionate. I learn a lot from your videos and I also recommended your channel to my colleagues. Thank you!

I've been watching IT-related videos here for years now, and while there are many great ones out there, this here is lightyears ahead of anything I've encountered so far. it's well-structured, goes in-depth but starts with the basics, and is really easy to focus on and follow. I rarely leave comments on here, but this is some impressive work I'd usually not expect to be available for free.

Needed 1 help understanding, any registry changes I make in Registry editor, that it's not reflected when I try to access them in powershell and when I update registry from a PowerShell and get it, I see the updated one but not in the registry editor or next powershell window. Is any registroy update is volatile in nature and it's only visible in that session (powershell session or registry editor of that session?) What's required to reflect the update everywhere?

Hi Lowell! today everybody is talking about the virus so this is good to return to basics and watch a good Windows video :):):) By the way, I always thought HK was for "Hive" and not "Handles", i don't know why... And last question, do you know something about the HKLM\COMPONENTS key? because I solved many issues on Windows computers at work by removing or modifying this key that is supposed to be "hidden" most of the time, but I don't really understand the root cause of the problem (why this key is suddenly stuck online...)

You stay healthy over there in the great country of France! The HK is handles although who would argue if you called it Hive? Thanks for sharing your experience with HKLM\COMPONETS key, I will look into this, sound interesting.

if you mess up a reg key badly,, can you use dism to repair it?

@TechsavvyProductions Жыл бұрын

Dism is used to check the files of the operating system and replace or download missing or update incorrect versions. It does not fix the registry. System restore is your best option for restoring the registry. www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/using-windows-vista-system-restore/

The Mac-OS, Android, iOS, Linux, BSD, Windows and UNIX are all different in some respects but are all corporate and enterprise ready.

My question Mr V is that I always see that DWORD as 32 bit when making changes, "but" if it's a 64 bit OS then why isn't the QWORD used more often . I have yet to find anyone to explain this to me, it's like the registry is resorting to the WOW64 with backwards compatibility to 32 bit (DWORD) I think this is real odd that if you wanted to take full advantage of a 64 bit operating system you would use the QWORD for registry changes I do registry backups on my main computer weekly

@TechsavvyProductions 4 жыл бұрын

John very good question and astute observation, 32-bit values can be easily be converted to 64 bit values (binary computers do this with little impact on performance). I imagine much of the 32 bit conversion of Windows to 64 bit had limited change on the 32-bit original registry.

@TechsavvyProductions 3 жыл бұрын

Babak Gholian, it sounds like your Transmitter chip is overheating and causing the WiFi card to fail. Can you reboot and everything works fine? How long does the card work until it stops. WiFi transmitter amplifiers draw 90% of the current for your card and often overheat and fail.

There are 200+ registry entries that launch executable code, that creates plenty of problems. The registry structure is such that it can not store files. Your HD is designed for that.
