ERROR_REGISTRY_RECOVERED
Windows recovered a registry database file
ERROR_REGISTRY_RECOVERED means Windows detected that a registry database file could not be used as-is and successfully recovered it from transaction-log data or another valid copy. The operation succeeded, but the recovery event is evidence that the hive did not reach disk in a clean state.
If this appears once after an unexpected power loss or forced reset, preserve the surrounding system and storage events and verify that Windows continues to start and save configuration normally. If it recurs, investigate storage reliability, abrupt shutdowns, file-system errors, memory instability, and software that interferes with registry or disk writes rather than repeatedly ignoring the recovered state.
Where ERROR_REGISTRY_RECOVERED is returned
This result is Win32 system error 1014 (0x000003F6) from winerror.h. AllStat describes it as “One of the files in the registry database had to be recovered by use of a log or alternate copy. The recovery was successful.”
