Changes to the Windows registry should usually be made with caution to avoid operational problems. However, Youtuber Come on Windows wanted to know what happens when you change all values from 1 to 0 in the Windows 10 registry.
Paint and notebook still work
Virtual machines allow you to experiment with operating systems safely. The classic approach here is to try to send a Linux distribution to digital nirvana using the terminal's delete command. However, changing all Windows 10 registry values from 1 to 0 has less far-reaching consequences, as Come on Windows in the video Shown on YouTube.
The main problem with this registry change in Windows 10 is that it will no longer be able to run .exe files, which also affects most of the Windows internal UVP applications. In general, it is no longer possible to start applications with the associated file extensions. Windows 10 also displays system information incorrectly after changing the registry to 0 because for example we have an Intel Core i7 processor00We've never seen an 800H processor like this before.
However, the operating system is generally able to work despite this change, which is probably due to the fact that many entries in the registry are not affected by changing the value from 1 to 0. Youtuber Come on Windows demonstrates several times in his video how to run Paint and WordPad, including saving the created files. However, Microsoft Edge crashes immediately when trying to open a page.
