What is that supposed to mean? It didn't work at all? It worked, but the changes did not stick (i.e. get reverted after logout and/or reboot)? Something else?

It would be helpful if you could answer Steves question. Some registry changes need to be performed at a higher privilege than administrator, some keys you just can not change. By not providing what is asked of you, it would seem pointless you asking for help in this forum.

You can run Regedit with the highest privileges via this app. Read the documentation, it’s quite easy.

www.sordum.org

PowerRun v1.8 (Run with highest privileges)

PowerRun is a tool to launch any program/script files with the same privileges as the TrustedInstaller /SYSTEM. it is a Portable and free

All good. Running regedit with higher privileges may not necessarily fix your issue. Like I said, some keys can’t be changed or just revert back.
