• Why the registry changes or the installation of security updates does not show in the session remotely from another server?

  Original title: the remote Sessions.

  When you install updates security directly on a particular server or change the registry, how is it that change is not displayed when you establish a remote session on this server to another server? My agency uses retina to analyze our servers for security flaws and he always report servers for missing patches or incorrect permissions on some registry settings. When you connect directly to the server, it ends up being false positive hits. Retina establishes remote connections to all servers in the domain to conduct its analysis. This has been an ongoing battle.

• Failed to save the registry change

  I have a Windows XP (SP3) machine in a domain environment.  The computer is correctly configured in the domain environment (assuming that, because I can log in as a domain administrator and all users get the startup script ran which maps some readers for them).

  I'm trying to change the registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate

  In particular - the key: WUServer

  I try to grab the WSUS server name it (i.e. http://main) (main is the name of the domain controller that is running WSUS).  When I entered the value and the output of the register - then go back into the registry, the key is still a Virgin.  I enter the server wsus again, exit, go back-it's empty.  It just won't save.

  I checked the permissions on the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate and 'authenticated users' was a total control.  Also, I gave myself so full control (domain\administrator).  Then, I gave "everyone" full control.  Just editing won't stay/save.

  What could be going on here?  It is the only computer in the company to behave like that.

  Thanks in advance for your help.

• Windows Vista is very much reboot. No restore points, rename pending.xml and registry change made no difference.

  Hi, I have a laptop from a friend at work as he complained that she simply close and restart constantly on him.

  I took it home, and strangely had it turned on for a while before he was the first reboot.

  It restarts, and then he would say "fill the stadium"3 of 3"0% of some Windows Update (I don't know that we would be).»

  Then after having like 20 seconds, the login screen would come.

  I connect and wait for it to load everything in startup.

  As soon as everything in startup was responsible, it would then proceed to shut down the PC and restarts.

  Then he goes back to the "end stage"3 of 3"0%.» This happens infinitely.

  I am able to do in safe mode without this restart.

  I tried to rename pending.xml and editing the registry, still no go. Now, I see same of ' fill in step "3 of 3" to 0% more... it's just continually restart. "

  I am trying to go about it without having to reinstall the entire operating system (it would be quite difficult because manufacturers no longer send disks with their products).

  Any ideas would be helpful! Thank you!

• HP Envy 700-430QE: the BIOS changes made by windows 8.1 without my knowledge

  I am currently having dual boot in my office so that I can login to 8.1 Windows or Ubuntu Linux. Everything works well except something very strange is happening. In my BIOS - boot order through Windows. Even if I load ubuntu first, then Windows boot loader. First time it works... it over ubuntu... later if I opt to go for windows... windows simply modifies this sequence such that windows boot manager will be loaded first, then ubuntu... whereas if I opt for ubuntu it works normally.

  It seems that windows does not want to live in peace with other operating systems.

  Windows should not update the BIOS settings in the first place.

  Background:

  I installed Ubuntu LTS 14.04 on a partition of an external drive connected to my HP desktop computer.

  Secure boot is disabled; QuickStart is disabled; Legacy boot is disabled. When I boot Ubuntu and reboot into Ubuntu, grub-efi allows me to choose if I want Ubuntu or Windows. However, if I go back to Windows and restart, Windows always changes my boot order, placing ubuntu last in the list. I have to always manually change my settings for UEFI and put Ubuntu on Windows, if I want to come back to Ubuntu. This seems to be too much work. Is it possible to keep windows do this?

  Working with HP for the past 2 days... all... tried re-installing Linux and Windows too but no help. HP support trying to find an excuse so they can find some basis does not help me.

  AshuSharmalnia, welcome to the forum.

  I don't know why this is happening.  However, I strongly suggest you to use a second drive for Ubuntu.  I double started with Ubuntu for years; never with Win 8.1.  I found that by using a second drive for Ubuntu solved all my problems similar to what you are experiencing.  In addition, www.ubuntuforums.org is a must for all those who use Ubuntu.  The members are extremely useful and not very well know the operating system.

  Note: This is not normally a problem dealing with the HP Customer Service.  They deal with software and HP components.

• How to back up the registry in Windows Vista

  I am currently working through the steps to delete & fix MSN Messenger because my current one is corrupt. One of the measures is to back up the 'register' before moving on to the next step.

  So far, that I have been able to find anything that tells me where I can find the 'register' or where I can download the software for this. My laptop came with Windows Vista pre-installed so I don't have a CD.

  Someone can tell me what is the 'register' and where can I find the software? Is this by chance another name for where you just do a system retsore point on the computer?

  Thank you

• CD using the registry drive write protection

  Hi all

  By the dismissal of some websites, I disabled the cd player written by means of the registry.
  But they said after I restart the computer to change the registry.
  This change also happened after the restart only.
  May I know why this registry change need restart?
  and why isn't it mandatory?
  Thanks & light
  Maxim V

  Hi, Maxim,.

  Not all the registry changes require restarting the computer. There are some records that have the attributes read-only at the start of the system, when you modify these records, you will need to restart your computer for Windows to recognize the changes.

  Hope the helps of information.

• Denied-TeaTimer registry change

These messages are stacked in a vertical column to the right of my office.

• Malware infection? WinPatrol nortice of the program change - regedit.exe %1 - involved virus Registry Editor?

  I use Winpatrol as one of my security features. Lately he has been asking me if the following program changes are acceptable:

  (1) "Winpatrol has detected a change to one of your file type associations. REG

  The program currently associated with this type of file is:

  Notebook
  MIcrosoft Corporation
  Notepad.exe %1
  A change was made to use the following program for this file type:
  The registry editor
  Microsoft Corporation
  RegEditor.exe %1.

  (2) "Winpatrol has detected a change to one of your file type associations. SCR
  The program currently associated with this type of file is:

  Notebook
  MIcrosoft Corporation
  Notepad.exe %1
  A change was made to use the following program for this file type:
  The registry editor
  Name
  Name of the company
  % 1/s.

  Recently, my computer has been infected by a variety of viruses and spyware despite my ZoneAlarm and Malwarebyes loaded. I ran several other antivirus and anti-spyware programs and, possibly, these programs don't reported no malware or spyware was present.

  I wonder if the above changes are made by a virus who missed the antivirus programs I have used.

  I would appreciate any comments, advice or information on the changes above the Microsoft community since Microsoft software is involved in the changes requested. I really appreciated any help that can be given and thank you in advance for it.

  Many anti-malware programs make changes to this file association as a way to protect yourself.

  Types of files. SCR and. REG were often abused and used to encourage users to run what has proved to be malicious.   Programs change your default Notepad program to protect you.

  You will notice that most browsers will run is more .reg files.  Instead they will display the text of the script if it is legitimate.  For a long time Outlook has not allowed to download. SCR files.

  WilPatrol will warn you of this change and allow you to change it if you want, but what ever malware program performs this change will continue to try to change it to Notepad.

  I usually recommend either using the Filetypes Lockdown feature in WinPatrol or just say WinPatrol does not monitor. SCR and. REG and let your other security program all supported.

  If you had made any changes in the registry without taking the backup copy of the registry, then there could be chances that your computer can find themselves in no situation to start and finally end up in the reinstallation of the operating system; This is why it is recommended to take a backup changed in the register of representation.

• How I undo these changes to the registry?

  Please, Please, Please read this completely and appropriate response.  I have 20 years of experience, so I understand the language, but I'm stuck here and what I don't want is a bunch of irrelevant answers to what I'm asking.

  I tried to solve the problem of not being able to see the photos in Photoshop and found what appeared to be a response to several in another forum. I need change the registry with a file I downloaded.  I knew to make a system restore point and thought it was all that I needed.  When changes did not work, I tried to undo some changes had been made to the registry, but the restore point keeps giving me an error that it cannot restore.  I am fully functional right now, but I really want to let my register changed, not knowing what has been published.

  Because I did backup my registry manually, I you change manually.  But I don't know exactly how.  I see these registry keys, but I don't know if I should remove them or not.
  Can you tell me how I should go about it?  Can I just find and delete the keys above (I backed up my registry this time so at least if it doesn't work, I can restore it - I wish just that I had restored beforehand).
  Thanks for any instructions, you can provide.  If you do not know, please don't answer (I say this most respectfully).
  In the meantime, I have no way to see the thumbnails in Explorer Windows Adobe Photoshop again and I open Photoshop and manually review all files to find the ones I want.  Pain in the you know what...
  I'm under 64-bit Windows 8.  Thank you very much.
  Oh and by the way, is where I got the instruction to make these changes and the Adobe.reg file I used. http://www.Josh.biz/technical-notes/view-thumbnail-images-for-Photoshop-PSD-files-in-Windows/

  Unfortunately, your question cannot be answered as asked.  I don't know of all way to tell if these keys from registry/data amended existing registry information or were created as data and new keys.  If created as new then you could just delete them, but if they have modified existing entries and then removing them could cause system problems.  You can try to ask the source of the registry file you have merged to give you their provenances and their actions, but the part that there is really no way of knowing what they were doing.

• You want to change the registry to restrict limited users.

  IOriginal title: backup of registry permissions.

  I found a few customizations that involves changing the registry permissions rather than the entries to allow limited users to do some harmless things that seem to require an account administration.
  Things like change the profiles of power and using Java.

  I am well aware of the importance of a key export before making changes, but which affects permissions, or just the contents of the key, if I try ot restore it? Given the format of a REG file, it seems to be just the content.

  Creating a system restore point be the best way to make the backup in case I live? I think what happens if I accidentally click on the wrong thing and take away the permission rather than add it. Of course, I intend to be careful, but I never know if I'll be surprised or something and saw things. A lesson I learned at the time of the Apple II when my cat (may she rest in peace, I have not had since) jumped on the keyboard and the FUBARed the floppy disk in the computer.

  Hi SlickRCBD2,

  If you export a key before making changes to the registry, it will not affect the set of permissions on your computer.

  I suggest you create a system restore point before making any changes on the computer.
