Registry error during the edit of files

Alex,

 

Some registry files are not allowed to be changed if your user has no administrator's right. Check on this first.

 

Also, be sure that you are editing Regedit32 instead of Regedit. Some security files are included only in the first one.

 

You can also create a subregistry under the main folder of the file you need to change the value.

Hope this helps

Riley

Registry error during the edit of files

It seems you are trying to edit the registry value of Microsoft Antimalware, a security product from Microsoft. Microsoft Antimalware for Azure is a free real-time protection that helps identify and remove viruses, spyware, and other malicious software. Since this is a security system running on the computer, there’s no way you can edit any keys belonging to this program.

If you try to edit the value of a key that is linked to this program, you will encounter a similar error. To fix the problem, try to disable Microsoft Antimalware for Azure first. Once it is disabled, try to modify the keys you want to change. Also, make sure you are using an admin account. If this doesn’t work, use the System File Checker utility.

Press the Windows key + R to bring up the “Run” dialog then type without quotes “sfc /scannow” then hit Enter. Insert your Windows installation CD or DVD when you are prompted then continue. Wait until it is complete. When it is finished, restart the computer.
