idea, please comment, registry patch that captures ALL changes since clean install

I was wondering if it is practical to do a registry export periodically, that captures ALL the changes, and compare that to an out of the box fresh install of Win 11 Pro.

The idea is that if I was going to spin up another system, I would want to apply this reg file to reflect all the tweaks, program options, Explorer Patcher and Winaero selections, etc, etc. It might be a good idea to do a separate export for all the installed software, and do that as a separate reg file, which I might need to edit to remove software that has not yet been installed. Further, I might do a separate reg file just for MS Office 365.

So that do you guys think? Which tools would you use to accomplish this? Has anyone already done this?

I'm about to do video about monitoring registry modifications using Regshot it lets you take a snapshot of the before and after changes to the registry and compare them.

Take 1st Shot of registry after fresh Install - When ready to take a second shot after Installing Applications at any point, take a2nd shot... I usually take a whole registry Shot 1st shot, install and register/license the Application, then take a 2nd shot of just that Applications Registry Settings... I do it before and after each application.... The Regshot2.ini file allows you to create an undo and redo *reg.txt file

Why don't you post the download URL link instead of attaching an executable that we have no idea clean?

I have been here, start of this forum i don't know you are you sure you're well known let's say you are again post the download link.

Tip: there may be some updates that don't show in a list, get pushed quietly. The update history will show many but the uninstall list won't show all, some can't be uninstalled.

Is that mean we can trust you.

How can we prove in advance your links don't have a payload?

But you trust a person who uploads an executable file, you are that smart aren't you while the app publicly available to download.
