Windows 10: How to Open Registry Editor on Windows 11

I don’t know about you but when it comes to the many functions that Windows can do I am almost clueless. But it’s never too late to learn to do new stuff with your computer’s operating system. The Registry Editor comes built-in in the Windows 11 operating system and allows users to modify and view the system registry. This registry is a hierarchical database that stores important configurations and options for Windows and installed applications.

The Registry Editor is a user interface to navigate through the registry and added values. Users can use the Registry Editor to modify and view system settings that aren't accessible through other windows settings menus.

Remember to always exercise caution when using the Registry Editor as making any incorrect changes can cause your system to have errors and prevent your windows from starting up. Always back up your registry before you make any changes and only make changes if you know what you're doing.

How to Open Registry Editor on Windows 11


I will look at four ways in which you can access or open the Registry Editor on Windows 11.

1. Opening Registry Editor Using Windows Search

Opening Registry Editor using Windows search is also the quickest way on Windows 11. This can be done through the windows search button. Here are the steps

• Press Windows and the S Key to open the search window
• In the search bar type Registry Editor and on the right pane select Open

2. Opening Registry Editor Using the Control Panel

The control panel is the one place where you control everything on your Windows 11 operating system. This is a common way of opening the Registry Editor instead of trying to use the word - regedit. With the control panel, you can simply change the account type, personalize your computer, manage your network and open important Windows Utilities. Here are the steps:

• Open Windows Search and type Control Panel then on the right pane select Open

• Next to View by choose Category in the drop-down icon

• Select the Security and System option

• Choose the Windows Tools option

• In the Windows Tools window double click on Registry Editor to open it

3. Opening Registry Editor using Run Tool

The Run Tool will permit you to open important Windows utilities. It could be a command prompt, a group policy editor, or a task manager for any use for utility. Here are the steps.

• Press Windows and R to open the Run Tool
• In the text file type regedit. Click OK and it launches the Registry Editor

4. Opening Registry Editor using a shortcut

If you use the Registry Editor regularly you can make shortcuts on the desktop for easy access. Here are the steps:

• Right-click on the black space on your desktop. Select new then select Shortcut.

• Type in the location for the item field, regedit and click Next

• Select a name for your shortcut. I recommend naming it Registry Editor and then click Finish.

You can double-click to open the Registry Editor using the shortcut.

Registry Editor hidden when open

Hi. RRDodge

My name is Anthony, an Independent Advisor trying to help.

In this case, there are two ways to open Registry Editor in Windows 10:

1. In the search box on the taskbar, type regedit. Next, select the first result for Registry Editor (desktop application).

2. Hold down or right-click the Start button and then select Run. Type regedit in the Open: box and select OK.

Now, if for any reason this does not work, in that case you can use the command prompt to open it, these would be the steps to follow:

• Open the Start menu.

• Click on the Windows logo located in the lower left corner of the screen.

• Type command prompt in the Start menu. In this way, the Command Prompt icon will appear in the Start menu.

• Right click on the Command Prompt. This is located at the top of the Start window. When you click on it, a drop-down menu will appear.

• If your trackpad does not have a button for the right click, use two fingers to press it.

• Click on the Run as administrator option. This option is found in the drop-down menu.

• If you do not have administrator rights on the computer, you cannot complete this method.

• Click Yes when prompted. Doing so will open the Command Prompt in administrator mode.

• Enter the registry update command.

Type reg add "HKCU \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Policies \ System" / t Reg_dword / v DisableRegistryTools / f / d 0 in the Command Prompt and then press ↵ Enter.

• Close the Command Prompt. Now, the command must have reactivated the Registry Editor.

• Try to open Registry Editor. Open the Start menu, type regedit and then press ↵ Enter.

If Registry Editor does not open, go to the next step.

• Restart your computer. Open the Start menu, click on the Start / Off icon and then on Restart.

Once your computer restarts, try again to open Registry Editor.

Best Regards.

Anthony. -
