Hi there… i have deleted the registry files and now my windows 10 cannot boot after I restarted it. What should I do?

Deleting Upper and Lower filters fixed the error for me. Love it when somebody knowledgeable posts real-world solutions. Thank you!

thanks, i used most of the registry instructions to repair my audio which wasnt working. just a red cross on speaker icon. only difference was going to the same folder then scrolling down the keys for the audio one and deleting the LowerFilters key. rebooted and sound is working again.

Hi kevin
Thanks for this. My keyboard stopped working after i installed vmware addon keyboard and later uninstalled it.Well nothing worked and eventually I had to open regedit . But the key you mentioned was for cd-rom. so i scrolled down and found the key for keyboard. There was only upperfilter key present. anyway with my fingers crossed,i deleted it and rebooted it! Voila, it worked!:slight_smile:
