Windows 10: Change Registry-Key with Powershell

Hi Forum
I have a Problem with changing Registry-Keys with PowerShell. I use the following entry:

$path "HKCU:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\AutoplayHandlers\UserChosenExecuteHandlers \StorageOnArrival"
Set-ItemProperty -Path $path -Name Default -Value "MSPromptEachTime"

The entry works but it doesn't Change the registry key, it creates a new one.
As a result the Windows Settings aren't changed because the (Standard) Key is still the "leader". I can't Change the this "(Standard)" key. I also tried to write it exactly as described but the I got the same result.
Any idea?

Thank you very much.

:)

 

PowerShell 1 Execution policy is bad in registry

Hi SusanHout1,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

Could you please help me with the below questions:

• What is the make and model of the computer?
  
• What is the version of Windows installed on your computer?
  
• Have you logged into the computer with the admin account?
  
• When do you get this error message?
  

I have reviewed the information provided by you and I appreciate the time you have taken to resolve this issue, I realize how frustrating these things can be. We at Microsoft prioritize our customer’s satisfaction. Keeping that
in mind, I will suggest you the steps which might take care of this issue.


I would suggest you to run the scan on the computer using Windows defender. To do so, follow the Microsoft article on
Help protect my PC with Windows Defender Offline.
Once the scan is done, check if the issue is fixed or help us with the error message.

To turn off controlled access on Windows 10, follow the steps mentioned in the article
Allow a blocked app in Windows Security.


To fix the
PowerShell 1 ExecutionPolicy, I suggest you to follow these steps.

Note: 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. To backup and restore registry key, refer Microsoft article on How to back up and restore the registry in Windows.

1. Press Windows andR
   key together on your Keyboard.
2. Type Regedit and hit enter.
   
3. Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\PowerShell\1\ShellIds\Microsoft.PowerShell
4. In the right pane, right click on the empty area and select New > select DWORD (32-BIT VALUE).
   
5. Type: ExecutionPolicy
6. Set the string value ExecutionPolicy to one of the following values:
   Restricted, AllSigned, RemoteSigned, Unrestricted, Undefined.

If you would like me to provide additional advice, simply respond to this thread. I will get notified and I’ll reply to you as soon as I can.

Hope it helps.

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.

 

Modded Registry. Want Old Back....

did you try this

To restore the registry
Open Registry Editor.
Click Options, and then click Print to print these instructions. (If you are using the Help and Support Center, click Print above the topic area.) They will not be available after you shut down your computer in step 2.
Click Start, and then click Shut Down.
In the list, click Restart, and then click OK.
When you see the message Please select the operating system to start, press F8.
Use the arrow keys to highlight Last Known Good Configuration, and then press ENTER.
NUM LOCK must be off before the arrow keys on the numeric keypad will function.

Use the arrow keys to highlight an operating system, and then press ENTER.
Caution

Incorrectly editing the registry may severely damage your system. Before making changes to the registry, you should back up any valued data on your computer.
Notes

To open Registry Editor, click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
Choosing Last Known Good Configuration provides a way to recover from problems such as a newly added driver that may be incorrect for your hardware. It does not solve problems caused by corrupted or missing drivers or files.
When you choose Last Known Good Configuration, Windows restores information in registry key HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet only. Any changes you have made in other registry keys remain.
