Registry entries missing from boot section of registry!?

Well, this is an odd one... I'll just give you the command line output.

Invoking boot optimization on (C:)...

		Analysis:  100% complete.

Some registry entries were missing from the boot optimization section of the reg
istry. (0x89000017)

Normal defrag works, but I'd love to speed up my system booting time... It worked once before, but I just formatted again to no avail (last two times I did it didn't work, before installing anything, too!).

Any ideas?

Don't defrag ever unless you are the system administrator of a heavily-used database server in the back office. Manual defragging is a colossal waste of time. It doesn't do anything. Modern operating systems are highly resistant to fragmentation. Furthermore, Win 7 and Vista automatically defrag for you.

Don't edit the registry except in extremely rare conditions where you know what you are doing, perhaps because you are being guided step by step by a Microsoft KB article.

Use -b not /b

Might read this also. Is this an install on a clean drive?

(Don't edit the registry) what is this about ? That like saying drive the car but do not ever open the hood. If you want to learn a system this is were it all happens. You can make a change in windows or just do it yourself in the reg. You can make changes in your system here that can not be done in windows. This is a beta and this were most beta tester will spend there time with loged reg reports.

No offense, but when my system regularily becomes fragmented, I like to defrag it.

I'm running this in an administrator command prompt, and I tried it with the -b flag instead of /b; same result, unfortunately.

I have no clue what would have caused this, as it's on a new clean install... And charles - good analogy, I agree 100% with you on that. I'll defrag my computer when I want, and I'll edit the registry at my leisure - you'd probably freak at the lack of security policies and features on my main desktop running XP...

This is something you need to read.

    • It's not about the amount of work. How can you not know that? Game companies charge what the market will bear, not based on what it cost to make. The market will clearly bear any price for a Mario series game because of the huge number fans across many decades. I don't expect Outer Worlds 2 to support that price point with matching huge sales numbers. I guess we'll know soon enough at release.
    • Windows 10 KB5060534, KB5060532, KB5060530, KB5060529 recovery updates released by Sayan Sen Microsoft this week released Patch Tuesday updates for the month of June 2025 on Windows 10 (KB5060533 / KB5060531 / KB5061010 / KB5060998) and Windows 11 (KB5060842, KB5060999). Alongside that dynamic updates for Windows 10 were also published. This time there were no such updates for Windows 11 which is quite rare. Dynamic updates bring improvements to the Windows Recovery in the form of Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) updates, also called Safe OS updates, as well as to the Setup binaries in the form of Setup updates. These Dynamic Update packages are meant to be applied to existing Windows images prior to their deployment. These packages include fixes to Setup.exe binaries, SafeOS updates for Windows Recovery Environment, and more. Dynamic Updates also help preserve Language Pack (LP) and Features on Demand (FODs) content during the upgrade process. VBScript, for example, is currently an FOD on Windows 11 24H2. Only recovery updates were released. The changelogs are given below: KB5060534: Safe OS Dynamic Update for Windows 10: June 10, 2025 KB5060532: Safe OS Dynamic Update for Windows 10, version 21H2 and 22H2: June 10, 2025 KB5060530: Safe OS Dynamic Update for Windows 10, version 1809 and Windows Server 2019: June 10, 2025 KB5060529: Safe OS Dynamic Update for Windows 10, version 1607 and Windows Server 2016: June 10, 2025 Microsoft notes that the updates will be downloaded and installed automatically via the Windows Update channel. You can also avail them manually on Microsoft's Update Catalog website: KB5060534, KB5060532, KB5060530, and KB5060534.
    • Hello, I didn't see any replacements listed at https://lian-li.com/product-category/accessories/, but they do have a contact page at https://lian-li.com/contact-us/.  I suspect reaching out to them would produce further information about the availability of a replacement.  Regards, Aryeh Goretsky  
    • I used to always use the WPD app, but I dont really trust it anymore since it hasnt had updates in a long time. Funny thing is, I recently came across a tool literally called 'Crapfixer' and it looks exactly like CrapCleaner 😅 You should check it out, its on GitHub
