BSOD REGISTRY ERROR

I can't boot into windows.

Hi Mustafa Alazzawi1,

Maybe you don't need to replace your SSD for a while.

Try connecting it to another computer, and if the SSD can be read from another computer, first see if you can back up the data on the disk or remove write protection from the other computer.

But if that's not possible, you can try to format it, and if you can, try to detect the SSD for hardware faults, such as damaged sectors.

If it's damaged, it's time to get a new SSD, but if the test results are good, maybe you can try to reinstall the system and use it again.

Whether you want to use this SSD again is up to you.

None of these options work. I managed to get into Registry Editor using the CMD in System Repair but when I restart my computer it doesn't save. I think I'll have to replace my ssd.

Hi Mustafa Alazzawi1,

If you can't boot into Windows, I guess you may be trying the command prompt in WinRE.

Your description of the problem is incomplete, I may not be correctly judging the current state of your computer.

If you can see this page, try the general options on this page such as "Startup Repair", "Uninstall Update", etc.

Or try clicking "Startup Settings" and then 4 or F4 to try booting your computer in safe mode:

Start your PC in safe mode in Windows - Microsoft Support

If you are able to access the system in safe mode, try the solution given in my initial reply.

But if the normal Options in Advanced Options don't work at this point, and you can't start your computer in safe mode, go back to the previous menu:

Please click Reset this PC, you can try to choose the option to keep your personal data for reset, but if it doesn't work, you may need to choose to delete everything.

However, if you want to find out if there are other options available before resetting your computer, it is recommended that you contact your laptop's after-sales support department.

Hello Mustafa Alazzawi1,

Welcome to Microsoft Community.

I noticed that you shared the Error code of BSOD here:

REGISTRY_ERROR

This error code indicates that the registry encountered an I/O error while trying to read one of its files. This can be caused by a hardware problem or file system corruption.

In your description, you indicated that you tried to use cmd, can I understand that you can currently boot and enter the system normally, and then use the system file checker tool:

Using System File Checker in Windows - Microsoft Support

But then, you say that the system prompts that the disk is write protected. Combined with the error code, I think there are two possibilities:

1. The file system is faulty The file system of the disk may be faulty, causing the system to automatically set it to protected mode to prevent further data damage.
2. The disk is faulty In some cases, the disk hardware may be faulty or damaged. To ensure data integrity and security, the operating system may put the disk in protected mode to prevent further damage or data loss.

Therefore, perhaps effective solutions to remove write protection are:

1. Use CMD to disarm (skip if you have already tried)

Enter the following commands one by one and press Enter to execute them:

diskpart

list disk

select disk #
attributes disk clear readonly

# is the number of the disk you want to unprotect. Find the number of the disk you want to unprotect

Complete the preceding operations to remove the protection.

2. Modify the registry

1. Press Win+R to open Run, enter regedit, and press Enter.
2. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\StorageDevicePolicies and ensure that WriteProtect is set to 0.
3. If no StorageDevicePolicies exist, right-click Control and select New item-key, then name the new item StorageDevicePolicies, save and exit the registry, and restart the computer.

Disclaimer: Generally, modifying registry subkeys or work group is intended for advanced users, administrators, and IT Professionals. It can help fix some problems, however, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow these steps carefully. For further protection, back up the registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.

I hope these steps will help you.
