reg-restore: Overwrite a specified key with data from a backup file.
$ reg restore ${key_name} ${path\to\file}
try on your machine

The command "reg restore" is used in Windows Command Prompt or PowerShell to restore a Windows Registry hive from a backup file.

  • "${key_name}" refers to the name of the Registry key where the backup will be restored to. This should be a valid key name or path.
  • "${path\to\file}" specifies the path to the backup file that contains the previously exported Registry hive. This should be the location of the backup file on your computer.

When you execute this command, it will restore the contents of the specified backup file to the specified Registry key, replacing any existing data.
