Windows 10 regedit and gpedit stopped working

Hello Andi

Thank you for posting you concern in Microsoft Community and welcome to the Windows 10 Family.

The snap-ins are a basic component of a console (Event Viewer, Services,
Group Policy Editor, Task Scheduler etc). Sometimes, there may be a possibility of scenario in which some snap-ins may not work properly, specially if the registry configuration of a Snap in is broken/corrupted. In most of the cases for the
ones corrupt, the functionality can be restored if you can restore the registry configuration from a prior backup.

In this case, to be able to understand the issue better, provide us a few more details on the below questions.

• How did you upgrade to Windows 10? Was it through Windows update or via Media Creation Tool?
• What is the edition and the build of Windows 10 installed in your computer?
• When you say "search bug", is it specific to the registry console or overall Windows search and indexing?

Now, please follow the below suggested methods and check if it helps to resolve the issue.

Method 1:

This issue may happen due to system file corruption. I suggest you to run System file checker. System File checker (SFC) scan is done to check if there are any corrupted system files that could be causing this issue. Kindly follow
the below given steps:

• 
  Press Windows key + X, select
  Command prompt (Admin) to bring up elevated Command prompt.
  
• 
  In Command prompt type
  sfc/scannow and press enter.
  
• 
  Restart the computer.

Method 2:

If no corrupted system files were found in the previous state
or were irrecoverable, then I suggest you to try the following steps to employ the DISM command lines:

• 
  Open command prompt by pressing Windows key + X and selecting “Command prompt admin”.
  
• 
  In command prompt, type the following commands and press Enter after each command:
  

Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth

Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth

Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

Write to us with the required information for us to be able to assist you further.

Thank you.

Hello Andi,

We appreciate the time and effort you have put in to work on this issue with us.

In the mean time, I suggest you to
create a System Restore point, so that you will always have a functional state of the computer to revert to. However, if you already have one in the recent time, to check if there is any Restore Point already created,
follow the below steps.

• 
  Press Windows key + X, select System.
  
• 
  In the left pane, click on System Protection.
  
• 
  Select the option to system restore > next. It will show all restore points already created.
  

Also, if you have any suggestions about Windows 10, I suggest you to post your valuable feedback about Windows 10 in feedback app. So, that it will be helpful for the developers to integrate the changes suggested by you.
