Windows 10 CMD backup

I really messed up.  I enter into command prompt and use the ff. methods.                                         Type CD RegBack and press <ENTER> to go to the RegBack folder. Type DIR and press <ENTER> to view the contents of the folder. All the following files must exist:

    • The DEFAULT, SAM and SECURITY files should each be about 262,000 bytes in size.
    • The SOFTWARE file should be about 26,000,000 bytes.
    • The SYSTEM file should be about 9,900,000 bytes.
    • The file sizes presented here are approximate estimations, and may vary depending on your system. If any one of them are 0 bytes, then you should stop what you're doing now and seek an alternative method of recovering your system, because Windows cannot function with a 0-byte size registry hive... AND EVEN ALL ARE O DIGITS I STILL CONTINUE TO FOLLOW THE METHODS. NOW I AM STUCK IN AUTOMATIC REPAIR LOOP I CANT GET BACK TO WINDOWS. IS THERE ANYWAY I CAN REVERT OR REVERSE THE METHOD???

    Hi 2TwOs , wow, where did you did the instructions for editing those registry keys?

    Please try this . . .

    From that screen you are stuck on,

    Go to - Advanced Option - Troubleshoot - System Restore

    Check to see if you have a restore point you can go back to

    If the above fails, go to Advanced Options - Troubleshoot - Reset this PC

    Choose to keep your files and apps, just your files or to keep nothing

    Then start the Reset

    Thanks Sir.Dave for the reply. I cannot restore. Is there anyway to fix this?

    I would first try a System Restore as DaveM121 suggested. If that fails, try "Troubleshoot > Advanced Options > Startup Repair". If that fails, consider the Reset.

    But the reset will not keep apps. It has an option only to keep user files...
