Regedit.exe is blocked at startup

Dear Forum guys,

Whenever I start my computer regedit.exe is stuck at the start even if it is enabled at startup in windows defender. Therefore, it is very annoying when I have to enable it manually whenever I log on windows. Any help would be appreciated. It started happening when I installed a norton internet security and the computer went through the Startup Repair and now it is doing it since then.

Rather than a problem running regedit, I guess that there are permissions that lack in the exact registry key you are trying to write with a reg file at startup.

For example, the startup command might look like this:

Regedit /s "C:\myfolder\myreg.reg".

Myreg.reg, there would be some key location:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Windows/Current Version / Council

Open this key in regedit, you could go to the Edit menu and see the entry permissions, add your username to the list.

If, on the other hand, it opens only regedit you want without the UAC prompt, create a new shortcut in the startup folder and right click for the properties and put a check the box for "run as Administrator" (shortcut tab, Advanced button)

  • the registry editor is STILL blocked at startup

    Dear team of Microsoft answers,

    After Marilyn link (which I had already gone before first assignment), I always have problems.
    Regedit.exe is blocked at startup. It does not automatically start even if it is supposed to in windows defender. I don't want to disable or remove it from startup. Just that it runs automatically at startup I want without me clicking on it to run in the taskbar. I'm also quite capable of editing the registry entries. So if there is an incorrect entry could you tell me where to find it.
    Thanks in advance for your help

    camo sandals,

    The registry editor is not set to run at startup as a clarification. It is an interface that allows you to edit the keys that specify the features and settings of the programs and services within Windows. Is it possible you're referring to another service or function? Also can give you details on what your experience with Windows Defender? To change the allowed items and their settings in Windows Defender:
    Click Start -> in the Search box, type Windows Defender, click the program in the list to open it.
    In the window of Windows Defender, click on Tools. Here you have hosted elements options so that you can view the software you chose for Windows Defender no monitor and browser software so that you can view and change tracking software. Please provide us more details with your request so that we can help you.

  • "regedit.exe find then unresponsive" when you search for an exe HKLM.

    Original title: regedit.exe find then does not

    When I open the registry by regedit and look for an exe with following HKLM, regedit.exe displays, "find next does not. When I search HKYCurrentUser or other registry keys for the same file, there is no problem. It's only the HKLM key which is not; the error says regedit.exe report crashes (uphang). Anyone has an idea why this occurs and how to troubleshoot and repair?

    Hi ErhanKarabekir.

    1. is the question confined with regedit only?

  • Msconfig does, nor does Regedit.exe

    There are some programs that I wanted to close to trying to make my cpu run a little faster. I looked up on how to do it and he said: get a Uniblue scan and figure on what programs you need and don't. So I did (I haven't already bought Uniblue so no problems there) and I tried to open msconfig

    Well, when I did, the msconfig requested permission but as soon as I clicked on OK nothing happens. I tried a few times more, and nothing happened again.
    I don't remember what I did some time ago but I tried opening regedit.exe and when I do, it opens and then closes before I can do anything.
    I tried looking for answers and all I get is that it can be a virus. I have avast and it catch anything (it constantly updates itself and I scanned EAT)
    What's wrong? How can I solve this problem?
    TaskManager works very well...
    Help, please!

    Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

    This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

    This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

    -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
    For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
    Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
    http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

    For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
    Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
    your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
    Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
    Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

    Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
    with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

    Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
    Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
    BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
    each installation.

    Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
    presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
    in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
    necessary.

    Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
    manually by model.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

  • How to stop the command Taskkill.exe that appears at startup

    How can I stop "Taskkill.exe" notice appearing at startup?

    Hi caerurfaernest,

    1. Did you the latest changes on the computer?
    2. What is the exact error message that you receive at startup?
    3. You have security software installed on the computer?

    Method 1

    It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

    I suggest that you put the computer in a clean boot state and check if it helps.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    See section to learn more about how to clean boot.

    Reset the computer to start as usual

    When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:

    (a) click Start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.

    (b) If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password or click on continue.

    (c) under the general tab, click the Normal startup option, and then click OK.

    (d) when you are prompted to restart the computer, click on restart.

    Method 2

    If the previous step fails then I suggest that scan you SFC on the computer that would be a system file corrupt on the computer search and replace.

    The analysis may take some time, so be patient. Windows allows to fix corrupt or missing files it finds. If the information of the installation CD is required to fix the problem, you may be asked to insert your Windows XP installation CD.

  • How to fix regedit.exe

    I'd rather solve a problem. When I open the Control Panel, RegEdit icon is there, but when I want to open it, nothing happens. It's like there is no such thing as regedit.exe. I tried to search, but nothing seems to appear. What bothers me because my computer seems to lag a lot due to registry containing a lot of keys and other programs which have been removed a long time ago. And I can't access registry to resolve the problem.

    Use the Windows search (start, search) to see if you can find a copy of regedit.exe on your system.

    Depending on your installation, are likely to find a copy:

    c:\Windows\System32\dllcache

    c:\windows\ServicePackFiles\i386

    If you find one, copy it and then paste them in the folder where it belongs:

    c:\Windows

    (is the regedit.exe file not in the system32 folder...)

    There is in fact a little extra effort to regedit.exe to lack since it is one of 3498 files covered by the Windows File Protection, but you said the word "AVG" and I saw AVG quarantine (effectively delete) critical XP system files.

    If you can't find one, I will download one on my SkyDrive and you can download it and put it in the c:\windows\system32 folder.

    Oops - I am running SP3, but I can check and see if the SP2 version is different (inconu!) and you're a regedit.exe SP2 if you can not find one on your system.

    You will probably have to download and reinstall your software Realtek the Realtek WWW site (it is not a Microsoft product).

    Looks like you may have a virus or other malware. Get your updated antivirus program and start safe mode.  Note that some viruses can hide from your normal antivirus program, so you really need to scan mode without failure.  To enter in Safe Mode when you turn on first, press F8 on every seconds until you get the menu, and then select Safe Mode.  Then run a complete system scan.

    If that suits him fine. If this is not the case, use system restore to go back to an earlier date at the beginning of the problem.  To run system restore, click Start-> programs-> Accessories-> System Tools-> system restore.  Click on the box that says show more restore points.
    You can check the corrupted system files.  Open an administrator command prompt and run SFC if the above does not help. Click START, and then type sfc in the search box, right-click to SFC. EXE, then click on run as administrator. Then from the command prompt, type sfc/scannow.
    Finally if all else fails, you can look at the rather cryptic system event log.  To make, click Start-> Control Panel-> administration-> event viewer tools.  Once in Event Viewer system log-click and scroll entries looking for these "error" with indicator see if you can find guidance on where the problem may be.
    I hope this helps.  Good luck.
