RegistryChangesView: Monitor & Track Windows Registry Changes

Free software to track registry changes, export detailed reports with modification history, previous data/values, process/software info and timestamp.

What is RegistryChangesView?

RegistryChangesView is a lightweight utility that enables users to monitor and track all changes made to the Windows registry in real-time. It runs in the background and detects when registry keys are added, modified or deleted. For each registry modification, RegistryChangesView logs detailed information such as:

  • The registry key path that was changed
  • The previous and new values/data of the key
  • The process or software that made the change
  • A timestamp indicating when the change happened

This allows you to have a comprehensive audit trail of all registry modifications. You can easily view these change logs to identify suspicious or malicious software that may be altering the registry, troubleshoot problems caused by registry changes, and determine when a particular registry edit happened.

Key features include:

  • Lightweight background process to monitor registry in real-time
  • Logs details of each registry change including key path, values, responsible software and timestamps
  • Easily view logs to pinpoint registry modifications
  • Filters to search logs for specific registry keys or software
  • Save monitoring logs as HTML/text/csv reports

RegistryChangesView simplifies tracking registry changes. It eliminates the need for manual comparisons before/after registry backups to identify modifications. The detailed logs can help troubleshoot issues caused by registry edits or determine what software made unwanted changes.
