Windows 10: I changed my TdrDelay and TdrDdiDelay registry values. Now it's stuck with them.

Hello,

I was recenly trying to overcome a crashing game, and I tried rising the TdrDelay and also TdrDdiDelay values, as suggested multiple times on the internet. I tried 20 DEC and the only outcome was the the game was hung up for 20 seconds before crashing. Because it was a bug in the game, so the TDR tweak didn't make any difference.


I deleted both the keys again. But strangely enough, when I once again ran into the gamecrash, it was, again, hung for 20 seconds! Before I touched the registry, the game crashed after 2 seconds, like the default value suggests.


So I readded the keys with their default values 2 and 5, but again, the game was hung for 20 seconds on the next crash. I seriously don't know what's going on, but it seems that the TDR does not recognise the changes in the registry, and just continues with the first ever edited values.


Of course, every time I changed the values, I rebooted my PC.


Any Ideas about what's going on?

:)

 

How to restore registry values?

You can perform system restore and check if it helps:

I suggest you to perform system restore and select a date prior to the changes which was done with the registry values and check if the issue gets fixed.

To perform System restore:

• Press Windows key + X, select
  System.
• In the left pane, click on System Protection.
• Select the option to system restore
  > next. It will show all restore points already created.
• Select the date prior to the date on which you have made the registry changes.

ForcedReboot Registry Key Value

Hi Daniel,

ForcedReboot is one of the subkeys in the registry. Subkeys contain data entries called values. The presence of a value on a key is a form of data that an application requires for it to run. An application opens a key and uses the values associated with
the key to perform specific functions. A key can have any number of values, and the values can be in any form.

You can visit these links for further information about registry values:

• Registry Value Types.
• Registry Element Size Limits.

Note: We do not recommend navigating and editing the values of the keys and subkeys in the registry. Changing the values of the keys and subkeys in the registry might cause serious system issues.

We would like to ask if you are experiencing any issues on your Windows device. Since you are interested on finding what the value of a subkey stands for, we think that you are trying to troubleshoot your computer. If in case you are having any errors or
issues with your Microsoft products, let us know so that we could assist you further.

We are looking forward to your response.
