Сегодня в компьютерном мире очень common was the problem that sometimes regedit is not started either because of the penetration of viruses into the system, whether after installing unlicensed software, or because of something else. Now we will figure out how to deal with such situations in the simplest ways.
What is regedit?
First of all, we need to understand what isthe regedit command entered in the "Run" menu field or on the command line, for execution of which the corresponding file with the extension .exe is responsible. This is a call to the standard Windows registry editor of any version.
The situation is not ruled out when the system is simplyproduces a message stating that editing the registry is not possible or prohibited, although the user, for example, works on his own terminal with administrator rights. Consider the main reasons that can cause such messages and errors.
Why does not regedit start?
As it is already clear, the reasons for such problematicmoments can be quite a lot. However, from the most common ones, there are several basic ones: prohibiting access to the registry by the administrator of the computer or network, the consequences of installing any unlicensed software product and the penetration of viruses into the system.
However, the method of correcting such situations is quite simple and does not require any special knowledge. Regedit does not start (Windows 8.1)? No problems. You can solve this in just a few minutes.
Regedit does not start (Windows 7, 8, 10): fix with your own tools
We will not touch the viruses until we find out that we canmake your own money system. Typically, the best option in this case will be the use of the so-called Group Policy client.
If a problem is detected when regedit is notruns, Windows 7, 8, or 10 allows you to use the gpedit.msc command in your arsenal, which you must enter either in the Run menu or at the command prompt.
The editor window will open, and you will need tofind the "System" section located in the Administrative Templates folder located in the user configuration branch. Here in the right window of the editor there is a line indicating the settings for prohibiting editing the registry.
After double-clicking in a new window, you just need to check the "Disabled" box and save the changes.
This approach works equally well for everyone"Operation" of the Windows family. True, if regedit does not start, Windows 10 will need to be rebooted for the changes to take effect. But, as practice shows, these are isolated cases. Usually this is not required.
Using Portable AVZ Antivirus
Now a few words about viruses.Needless to say, if the method suggested above does not help, you need to fully check the system with a regular anti-virus scanner or use portable utilities such as Dr. Web Cure It. But this does not always help to fix the problem, because some viruses or scripts of unlicensed programs can block their work or update the virus signature databases. Most often this situation is observed when installing all your favorite GTA games in the form of a cracked version.
What to do if regedit is not started or evenoptimizers like CCleaner and RegCleaner? Use a free portable AVZ type antivirus. And that's why. The fact is that access to the registry editor and running a regular antivirus blocks the same virus, and the anti-viruses themselves do not even allow you to rename your own program files responsible for starting the main service.
In our case, you first need to download the complete packageand unpack it in any convenient place on the hard drive. Now you need to find the AVZ.exe startup file and rename it (say 1AVZ.exe or something else, does not matter). Note that renaming the executable file of the anti-virus package here plays a key role. This is done so that the virus itself does not define the application to be launched as a means of combating it. We launch the renamed file and update the online anti-virus database.
Now you need to run the so-called "Mastersearch and elimination of problems ", after which the" System "category is selected as the problem category, and" All problems "in the security level field. We begin scanning. At the end of the process, if something is detected, a message will appear about detecting the system process debugger. Click on the button to fix the problems, that's all. If regedit does not start again (or even an update of any important programs), we simply reboot the system. But in most cases, the usual fix is a non-reboot.
Conclusion
Finally it remains to say that we have consideredmost common situations, which, as a rule, most users encounter, and especially in computer jungle did not climb. However, as practice shows, these two solutions help to fix the situation not only with the prohibition of editing the registry, but also with access to some other functions of programs and applications. As you can see, there is nothing complicated or special in the solutions given. Any user, even an entry level, can handle this.
