What is "the registry"? Is it the registry of births, deaths and marriages?

This newsgroup concerns itself with standard C++, which I don't believe
includes accessing any kind of registry.

You're way off topic for comp.lang.c++. The topc here is Standard C++.
There is no concept of a "registry" in Standard C++. You'll need to ask in
a vendor- or platform-specific newsgroup.

Argh! I'm talking about the Windows registry. I know of a lot of
programs that change the windows registry. Would you please just tell
me how to do change it with c++ under windows?

Ask in a newsgroup that has "windows" or "microsoft" in its name.
You've been told that it's OT here.

This is completely the wrong place for that. There are uncountable Windows
newsgroups, and this isn't one of them. This might point you in the right
direction: http://www.slack.net/~shiva/welcome.txt

And i know a lot of operating systems that don't use or have a registry.
Incidentally, C++ works as expected in most if not all of them. Why? Because
the folks who support and develop the standard chose not to support
proprietary systems. Bless them.

To you that may seem to be a limitation, to us its why C++ is stronger than
ever. To understand why: try Win32, MFC or WTL to write your registry
program and consider the fact that the said program only runs on some
windows platforms. This situation is exactly what C++ attempts to prevent
through its standard.

Lets face it, why should C++ reinvent the wheel every time some company
decides to implement some non-documented, closed source and proprietary
interface?

Ask your question in a relevent newsgroup. Search for "microsoft" and you'll
get 50 groups or so.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
