    Regedit Crash

    Hello,
    Once I have installed "Audiograbber", not knowing about the ripping ability of win 10 media player. So I looked into the installed programs to uninstall it, it was not in the list, even CCleaner did not list it.
    Then I opened the windows 'all apps', found the program and there was also a line to uninstall it. Uninstalled it, then opened the "regedit' to remove all traces, it found 3, to be safe I 'exported - saved' them then deleted. Clicked on F3 to continue the search, after a long while nothing found, so I clicked on the 'cancel' and got a notice that 'regedit' stopped working and restarting (regedit). Such crashes I noticed on some other ocasions. Ran virus chk. ran malware program chk - all is clean.
    Is something wrong with this regedit ? system works fine.
    Any help about this ?
    Thanks
