Windows 10: Registry Search

I have come across an issue with searching the registry in Win10, both versions 1909 and 2004.

There is a registry subkey containing the string 4d36e968-e32511ce-bfc108002be10318. Searching for that string using regedit returns no results.

If I change the string in the search to all upper case i.e. 4D36E968-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318 then regedit search finds the string 4d36e968-e32511ce-bfc108002be10318 i.e. all alpha characters lower case without any problem.

Is there some setting in regedit or perhaps group policy to change this behaviour? I would have preferred the regedit search string 4d36e968-e32511ce-bfc108002be10318 to find that string, with all alpha characters lower case, in the registry.

TIA

Quick Access not searching Pictures folder

Summary, that last suggestion didn't work.

• I moved the pictures to another folder temporarily.

• Then I tried to remove the Pictures folder with option one at Add or Remove Folders from This PC in Windows 10 | Windows 10 Tutorials. Even after rebooting, the Pictures folder remained.
• So I tried using option two. Same thing: reboot >> Pictures folder still there.

• Since there were no troubleshooting steps for this scenario, just for the heck of it, I ran through the restore steps. Copied some pictures into the Pictures folder, ran a Quick Access search and initial problem remains: Searching all of QA doesn't find any files in Pictures folder, running search on just the Pictures folder does. I want to run a global search and find matching files in any/all of the Documents, Music, Videos, and Pictures folders.

That article dates from 2015 and I'm guessing is out of date. I hope it didn't create potential future problems in my registry.

Bottom line: I'm still looking for a fix.

BSOD - Registry Error

Your BSOD code is 0X000000051

Here's the Google search I did for it: https://www.google.com/search?q=0x0...j5.399j0j7&sourceid=chrome&es_sm=122&ie=UTF-8

There is a hotfix available that might help, https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/810558

This thread makes a few good suggestions too: http://www.sevenforums.com/bsod-hel...dows-7-pro-sp1-registry-error-0x00000051.html

+1 to listing your full system specs, OS version, etc. I did only look at your BSOD log file.

Run a Diskchk /R (I know you already ran one, so you can skip this)

Run SFC /SCANNOW

Report back.
