Extract backed-up registry to files, not to a live system

1. Restore
2. Advanced Mode
3. Restore an entire volume
4. Pick the Source snapshot and wait for it to finish matching
5. For the Destination, pick any drive (it won't be overwritten) and create a new Subvolume in it (it's just a new subdirectory which will contain the restored files)
6. Change the restore method to Restore Missing Files Only
7. In Files Chosen, deselect the root drive so that there are 0 files chosen
8. In Options → More Choices → Windows → System, ensure Restore System State is checked. I also disabled Restore Security Information because registry hive files have very restrictive permissions by default, which makes them harder to work with while restoring.
9. Restore

Download

1. Go to https://store.rg-adguard.net.
2. Search for the HEVC Video Extensions from Device Manufacturer (Microsoft.HEVCVideoExtension) app by entering the following store URL into the search box and clicking the ✔ button.

   https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/hevc-video-extensions-from-device-manufacturer/9n4wgh0z6vhq
   

   • Do not use the normal HEVC Video Extensions app URL, because that can't play HEVC videos in Windows Media Player for some inscrutable reason.
3. Download the AppxBundle file.
   • You may have to right click › Save Link As because the URL scheme is http, not https, if your browser is set to enforce HTTPS-only mode.

• If it tries to save as a filename that's just a GUID, you may copy the correct .AppxBundle filename and save it as that instead.
