    Modifying registry key doesn't work. Why?


    I'm trying to add command "open PowerShell here" to the right mouse button menu. I'm using instructions from How to Add “Open PowerShell Here” to the Right-Click Menu for a Folder in Windows but when I'm at the stage where I suppose to add and modify reg key in Directory->shell->powershell, first of all, the new reg key I was supposed to create, already existed there and when I try to double click on a value and change value data to the one on the website(i copied it to don't make any mistakes) I get error "cannot edit:..."

    Windows doesn`t start. Authomatic repair doesn`t work.

    Thanks again!!

    I`m sorry I had not noticed that the text on the picture was in spanish. It says that windows has replaced some damaged clusters in "name" file and "directory". Then, at the end "an unspecified error occurred (75736e6a726e6c2e 4f6)".

    I`ll do it and I`ll be updating this thread when I have the report.

    I ran SeaTools. These are the results:

    CD-ROM doesn`t work with win 10

    Hi,

    Welcome and thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    Apologize for the difficulties that you're experiencing in Windows 10.

    Not to worry, we’re here to help you out.


    • What is the make and model of the computer?
    This might have occurred due to corrupted\outdated DVD\CD-ROM driver.

    Let us try the following steps, and check if it helps.

    Step 1: Try updating the DVD\CD-ROM drives from device manager.

    • Press Windows key + X and click on
      Device Manager      .
    • Expand DVD\CD-ROM drives.

    • Right click on the driver select
      Update Driver Software.

    • Restart the computer.
    Step 2: I suggest you to check and install if there is any latest firmware update for DVD drive from the computer manufacturer.

    Also, see: Your CD or DVD drive is not recognized by Windows or other programs

    (Applies to Windows 10 as well).

    Disclaimer: This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, 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. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, follow the steps to do the same:

    • Press Windows key + R.
    • Type regedit in the run box.
    • Locate and click the key or subkey that you want to back up.
    • Click the File menu, and then click Export.
    • In the Save in box, select the location where you want to save the backup copy to, and then type a name for the backup file in the
      File name box.
    • Click Save.

    Hope it helps.

    Do update us with the details, we are glad to assist you further.
