VerboseStatus

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System

Data type

Range

Default value

REG_DWORD

0 | 1

0

Description

Directs the system to display detailed status messages.

This entry stores the setting of the Verbose vs normal status messages Group Policy. Group Policy adds this entry to the registry with a value of 1 when you enable the policy. If you disable the policy or set it to Not configured, Group Policy deletes this entry from the registry, and the system behaves as though the value is 0.

Value

Meaning

0 (or not in the registry)

The policy is disabled or not configured. The system displays standard status messages.

1

The policy is enabled. The system displays detailed status messages that reflect each step in the process of starting, shutting down, logging on or logging off the system.

Change method

To change the value of this entry, use Group Policy. This entry corresponds to the Verbose vs normal status messages Group Policy (Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\System).

Note Image Note

The Disable Boot / Shutdown / Logon / Logoff status messages policy takes precedence over the Verbose vs normal status messages policy. When the value of DisableStatusMessages is 1, the system does not display status messages, and the VerboseStatus entry is ignored.

If this entry appears in the registry, the system ignores the value of VerboseStatus in HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\CurrentVersion\Winlogon.
