Is there a possibility to corrupt a Windows Registry for repeated update?

I created a C++ program that runs in start up to call a .bat script that I created during log-in in my pc (Windows 10). Basically what the script does when it detects an internet connection it updates the registry with a registry file I exported and else it applies a different registry settings if no internet connection detected.

I'm thinking if it do updates everytime I logon is there a possibility that I corrupt the registry or crash the system?

I just want to avoid that.

So what registry setting are you changing exactly and you want to know what about it again exactly? – Pimp Juice IT – 2017-09-28T05:55:59.807

Windows Policy settings. It's just actually a wallpaper configuration under Current User>Microsoft>Windows>Current Version>Policy. When it detects an internet connection it applies a different wallpaper and when it's not it applies a different wallpaper. What I'm asking is does it trigger corruption of entire registry for repeated update every login? or Does it have a higher risk to be corrupted? – threeFatCat – 2017-09-28T06:03:09.273
