I want to restore only one key from registy back up I had in here: "%systemroot\System32\config\RegBack" How can I do this? I just changed some permissions on this registry: https://superuser.com/a/1265040/1728892 and my PC is not working correctly. I have registry backup but I don't know how can I restore only one key. or even restore all of it.

  1. Attach the registry hive file using reg load (e.g. under HKLM\Foo).

    If you want to use the RegEdit GUI, this is under "File → Load".

  2. Use reg save to make a new backup file of only the subkey you want. (If you only want the data and don't need to preserve original permissions, you can use reg export to generate the text-based .reg file.)

  3. Use reg unload to detach the original full backup.

  4. Use reg restore (or reg import) to restore the real subkey from the new backup.
