Windows 10: Registry issues after newest cumulative update for W11 KB5029263

I recently upgraded to W11 Pro, and because I had to make some tweaks in the registry editor I first wanted to back it up, but once I tried it brought errors and it wasn't fully backed up. I realized that one registry key is not accessible and after looking for some time I found that I can't open the key at: Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\System\CurrentControlSet\ControlThe following error is displayed: "Cannot display: Error reading the value's contents.I know this is because of the KB5029263 update because I reinstalled Windows and tried opening the key multiple times and it succeeded every time
