The “Bad System Config Info” bug check error message that tells you Windows is having trouble processing something. Finding the culprit is usually the hard part.


Please boot your computer with Windows Setup Media and from Windows Recovery Environment start the Command Prompt.

The following command scans integrity of all protected Windows system files and repairs files with problems when possible.

Sfc  /Scannow   /OFFBOOTDIR=D:\   /OFFWINDIR=D:\Windows

Please replace partition letter D: with Windows installed partition letter. When computer boots into Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) environment the drive letter assign to Windows partition may not be C: drive letter because Windows 7, 8 , 8.1 and 10 creates a separate system partition when it's installed from scratch. The system partition contains boot files WinRE assigns the system partition the C: drive letter and the Windows installed partition will be assign any other drive letter usually D: drive letter is assign to Windows installed partition. The Bcdedit | find "osdevice" command can be use to find out the drive letter of the Windows installed partition the output of the Bcdedit command is similar to this osdevice partition=D:. The drive letter after partition= is the drive letter of the Windows partition.



Please boot your computer with Windows Setup Media and from Windows Recovery Environment start the Command Prompt.

Windows Vista/ 7/8/8.1/10 keep a regular backup of the registry handy in case you need to overwrite a corrupted registry. By default, the RegIdleBackup task runs every 10 days, so that’s as far back as you would lose if you replaced the current registry with the automatically backed-up files. You can find the backed-up registry files in \Windows\System32\config\RegBack folder.


Please boot your computer with Windows Setup Media and from Windows Recovery Environment start the Command Prompt.

Please type below command into Command Prompt and press Enter key.

 Dir C:\Windows\System32\config\RegBack

Above command will list files stored within RegBack folder and there file size, make sure files are not zero size if they are do not follow below instructions.

Please replace partition letter C: with Windows installed partition letter. When computer boots into Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) environment the drive letter assign to Windows partition may not be C: drive letter because Windows 7, 8 , 8.1 and 10 creates a separate system partition when it's installed from scratch. The system partition contains boot files WinRE assigns the system partition the C: drive letter and the Windows installed partition will be assign any other drive letter usually D: drive letter is assign to Windows installed partition. The Bcdedit | find "osdevice" command can be use to find out the drive letter of the Windows installed partition the output of the Bcdedit command is similar to this osdevice partition=D:. The drive letter after partition= is the drive letter of the Windows partition.

Please type below commands into Command Prompt and for each command you have typed press Enter key.

Replace C:\Windows\System32\Config\RegBack\*     C:\Windows\System32\Config

As files are replaced, the Command Prompt displays their filenames on the screen.

This procedure assumes that Windows Vista/7/8/8.1/10 is installed to the C:\ partition. Make sure to replace C:\ drive letter to the appropriate Windows OS installed partition drive letter if it is a different location.


Above commands renames the registry files at their existing location, and then copies the registry files from the RegBack folder to the C:\Windows\System32\Config folder.



We can use BSOD memory dump files store in C:\Windows\MiniDump folder you can navigate to this folder by executing Notepad.exe from Command Prompt and from Notepad click File --> Open menu.

Unfortunately, the regback folder isn't populated anymore since windows 10 v1803.

Unless the user re-enabled it through windows regedit in Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Configuration Manager:

• Right click in the second pane (the one on the right hand side), new, dword (32-bit) value.
• Value name: EnablePeriodicBackup
• Data: 1

---

You can automatically do the same through the following text: save it in a text file and name it as EnablePeriodicBackup.reg
Then, double-left-click it, say yes to all windows that will appear, and it will be added to your registry.

EnablePeriodicBackup.reg file content:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Configuration Manager]
"EnablePeriodicBackup"=dword:00000001 ; this entry isn't present by default in windows 10 version 2004 build 19041

---

Otherwise, from an elevated command prompt, through this command:

reg add "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Configuration Manager" /v "EnablePeriodicBackup" /t REG_DWORD /d 1

---

After a reboot:

• The regback folder will be populated by registry hives, but with 0 (zero) as size.
• Windows will create on its own a new task in task scheduler\microsoft\windows\registry.

@xilolee you are correct i forget to remove Windows 10, i also have script to enable registry backup in Windows 10.

I've suggested you to add my previous post to your tutorial.
Unfortunately, it is in the hidden subforum for tutorial reviews, therefore you couldn't read it.

Troubleshooting options include:

a) reset save files
b) reset remove files
c) clean install
d) Windows refresh
e) custom install

Some of the above save files.

All of the above require the reinstallation of drivers and applications.
