Windows what are current control sets

Last updated:

CurrentControlSet is an alternating symbolic link to either ControlSet001 or ControlSet002. The other key is kept as a backup for the Load Last Known Good Configuration boot option.

current ControlSet number is set by Current under HKLM\System\Select.
