Registry
The Registry
The Windows Registry is primarily composed of several hive files that store configuration settings and options for the operating system, applications, and hardware. These hive files are typically located in the C:\Windows\System32\config directory and include files like SYSTEM, SOFTWARE, SECURITY, SAM, and DEFAULT. When backing up the Windows Registry, these files are saved as .reg files, which are plain text files that can be used to import or export registry settings.
The program used to store files on windows is called: Windows Explorer.
In a Windows-based computer, the system registry is a place designed for storing all of the settings within Windows and the applications. It is a collection of very important files that Windows needs to even boot. They store where everything is, all the settings, etc. Not all programs are compliant with the registry and may store their settings in private files. The registry was designed for getting away from all the settings file clutter and for having a common place for all settings for every application you use. Windows 3.1 used INI files, and while most versions of Windows will use them, the preferred place is the registry.

Generally speaking, no. Most applications write their settings to the Windows registry. When the installation of Windows they were installed in isn't running, the applications cannot read their important settings, and so most will not function.

To fix it, you can try resetting the Windows Store cache by running the command wsreset.exe in the Run dialog (Win + R). Additionally, ensure your Windows system is up to date and consider reinstalling the problematic app. If the issue persists, running the Windows Store Apps troubleshooter can also help identify and resolve underlying problems.
