Windows 10: DisplayName registry key deletes itself automatically after logout

This key is responsible for showing up my username in W10 Lockscreen and many other places. I have to create it again after every restart since as stated in the subject of this question, it disappears after logout and instead shows up my email address instead of my name. I am using a Microsoft Account as sign-in method and everything on my it seems configured correctly. This has started occuring after an Windows Update that got me into OOBE after it installed. I tried running sfc /scannow but it stopped at 40% and said that some errors couldnt be fixed. In the past I had trojan.win32.Llac.cxcc but I got it removed using Kaspersky. I would appreciate if someone could teach me to make this key undeletable or at least to fix this problem.

Macromedia Flash registry keys non deletable?

Hello, friends.
On friend machine I made the mistake of installing the Adobe Macromedia Flash, instead of just depacking the installer and copy over the relevant files in Firefox plugins. As result, there are several non-deletable (regeditor refuse to delete them, CCleaner did not delete them as well) registry entries:




Both from Flash 9b and 10b versions as you can see in the image. Since regedit refuse the delete the keys AND CCleaner also refuse to delete them, I tried even the Registry Booster, yet this one did not even list them as error. If that is significant, I don't know. I just want them to "go away" and don't know how.
Thinking about Windows PE boot, but not sure if that is safe and if that will allow well me to manipulate with registry... Is not there any other way? There is NOTHING from the flash files in Windows directory at all. All are removed/deleted. I stick with the
flashplayer.xpt
NPSWF32.dll
NPSWF32_FlashUtil.exe
files extracted from the install and put in Firefox / Plugins, so I will not ever install that crap again. Never did on my machine and no problemo. But in case someone do, is there a known way to fix this? Using the Adobe utility to clean up is NOT the way to do...
Also installing new version did not seems to fix a thing.

 

ATITool registry key

Hello,

During ATITool installation, the following registry key was added to my registry:

"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Class\{85b5ddd0-e090-4b15-bdf2-a443a3ca0b66}"

After uninstalling the program, this key remained. I tried to delete it through the registry editor but it returned the following error:

"Cannot delete {85b5ddd0-e090-4b15-bdf2-a443a3ca0b66}: Error while deleting key."

I'm running Vista Home Premium 32-bit by the way. I also tried to change permissions for the key and deleting in safe mode, but neither of those worked either.

Any ideas on how i can remove this key? Any help is appreciated, thanks.

 

Deleting an uninstalled software

Hello,

Thank you for your interest in Windows 10.

First, I would suggest you to contact Python if they have any uninstaller, if yes, run the uninstaller package to get all the remnants of python removed completely from your computer.

If that does not help you may edit the registry and remove all the values for python. Follow the steps below to do so:

Important This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow these steps carefully. For added
protection, back up the registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge

• In the Open box, type regedt32, and then click
  OK.
• In Registry Editor, locate the following registry key:
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall

  Export on the File menu.
• In the Export Registry File dialog box that appears, click

  UninstallString: The value data for the UninstallString key is the program that is used to uninstall the program.
  
• After you identify the registry key that represents the program that you removed but which is still displayed in the
  Currently installed programs list of Add or Remove Programs, right-click the key in the left pane of the
  Registry Editor window, and then click Delete.
  
  Click Yes in response to the "Are you sure you want to delete this key and all of its subkeys?" message.
