    Absent HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Windows


    Windows 10 Home, installed as a free update over Windows 7.

    When I open the registry,
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Search
    is not present.

    All that exists is
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\COMMS\
    and
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\DM\

    What do I need to do to regain
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Search ?

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion policies

    HELP!!! I can't take it any more... Windows 10 apps quit working including the Store. Have tried everything including refreshing Windows 10. You name it... I've tried it. Resetting, refreshing, et al. Get error codes on these no matter what instructions
    I follow from the Command Prompt. Even went through the Manual and it is becoming endless!

    I believe one of the problems is with the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion policies.

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft

    (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows Media) MISSING from Registry

    Did you read the article?

    It tells you step by step how to create the key.

    You must have at least HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Media Foundation\Platform

    Don't worry about creating the key for wow643node, that I believe is the wrong error message.
