11 Registry Editor tweaks every Windows 11 user should know

Despite the risks associated with its use, the Registry Editor has many options you can modify to improve your Windows 11 experience

One of them is Verbose Mode, which shows a quick snippet of the system processes running when your PC boots up or shuts down. While it may not be very useful for the average user, Verbose Mode's status messages are a lifesaver when you need to diagnose a faulty system that crashes in the middle of the boot process. Here are three ways you can enable this feature on Windows 11.


Enabling verbose mode using system configuration

Windows 11's built-in System Configuration Utility provides an easy way to enable verbose mode. All you need to do is:

  1. Right-click on the start and select Run.

  2. type msconfig in the Run and tap OK.
    Type “msconfig” into the Run utility

  3. Switch to Boots Tab in System configuration Pop-up window.
    Go to the Boot tab in System Configuration

  4. Check the box next to Information about starting the operating system and tap OK.

  5. Agree to restart your PC when prompted by the system configuration.


You can see the messages in verbose mode once your system boots up.

Enabling verbose mode via Registry Editor

If you don't mind accessing the settings in the Registry Editor, you can use this tool to forcibly enable verbose mode.

Before you launch the Registry Editor, we recommend that you exercise extreme caution when accessing the tool. Despite its usefulness, it is quite easy to cause irreparable damage to your operating system and documents if you are not careful. This makes the Registry Editor more of a double-edged sword than a beginner-friendly customization tool.

  1. Open the Run Utility as last time and enter regedit before pressing OK.

  2. Once the Registry Editor starts, click on the Search bar and met Input after pasting the following location. 
    Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System

  3. Right-click anywhere on the right half of the Registry Editor and select DWORD (32-bit) value in the dropdown menu for the New Option.

  4. Enter the name detailed status to this variable.
  5. Double-click it and change Value data To 1.

  6. hit OK and restart your PC.


Enabling verbose mode via the Group Policy Editor (Windows 11 Pro only)

For those who don't want to deal with the Registry Editor, the Group Policy Editor offers a relatively safe option for enabling verbose mode. The caveat with this method is that the Group Policy Editor is not available on the Home version of Windows 11. Technically, it is still possible to install the Group Policy Editor on Windows 11 Home edition, but the scripts used for this task are beyond the scope of this article. Fortunately, you can easily follow the steps if you are using Windows 11 Pro.

  1. Restart the Run Window and type gpedit.msc before hitting OK.

  2. Go to system Flap inside Administrative templates.

  3. Scroll down and double-click the Display very detailed status messages Option.
    The “Show detailed status messages” option is highlighted in the Group Policy Editor.

  4. Select the radio button for Enables and press the OK Button.

Make Windows 11 more talkative with Verbose mode

This should get your PC displaying stats at startup and shutdown. Besides Verbose mode, there are a handful of ways to keep an eye on your PC's metrics. The Services utility and the handy Task Manager can provide detailed reports on the apps running on your system. If you're as deep into diagnostics and statistics as I am, you're probably familiar with Event Viewer and its endless log of errors and warnings.
