Restart the tool with arl (it tells you so at exiting).īE EXTREMLY(!) CAREFUL when selecting the keys to be removed with arl's Registry Utility. If you happen to have more than one Windows partition, like me, and the one of interest isn't mounted as the first, exit the tool and perform, for example: # umount /mnt/sdb1 Note: Apparently the Registry Utility is only able to work with the partition mounted first. You need an USB drive with at least 1.5 GiB free space. This tool is GREAT! It starts a COW-based application that includes a Registry Utility amongst others (if you prefer shell one-liners, or mc, simply it).īe sure to run the USB version's setup.exe as Administrator, otherwise the USB drive will not be bootable (though the setup says so at the end). ( The german download page mentions that it's from 2016 and there are other alternatives that are recommended.) I remembered having used a Linux command line tool for this in the past but before I recalled its name to be able to search for it I stumbled across: AVG Rescue CD GNU/Linux (ARL) (ISO for CD and USB) So, the next task was to edit the Registry from outside Windows. These entries appear/disappear, as well as the aforementioned BootDefragDriver.sys, if you activate/deactivate Glary Utilities' Boot Defrag/Optimization. HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\BootDefragDriver So, I checked the configuration of the other system and found two Registry keys: HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\Root\LEGACY_BOOTDEFRAGDRIVER Copying it from another system and re-booting didn't help. Using a Linux Live USB I realized that C:\Windows\System32\drivers\BootDefragDriver.sys wasn't even there.
