Windows 10: Take Ownership and Delete Registry Key

I have a brand new PC with a brand new clean install of Windows 10 with most current build.


Despite this, I am continually seeing a Warning Event ID 1534:

Profile notification of event Load for component {B31118B2-1F49-48E5-B6F5-BC21CAEC56FB} failed, error code is See Tracelogging for error details.


If the Events Viewer. Perhaps this is an inconsequential Warning and can be ignored, but the supposed process for resolving it has triggered the fundamental question. How to take ownership of a registry key?

If found on line with several people confirming the fix that the process is (or should be) simple:

Open the registry, navigate to, export, delete the following two keys then reboot:


HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\ProfileNotification\TDL

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\ProfileNotification\TDL


Unfortunately there is a caveat: "You'll need to take ownership of the TDL key to be able to delete it."


Well despite following to the letter no less than 3 articles for "Taking ownership of a registry" key, after following those steps and clicking "Apply" I keep getting a Windows Security popup:

Unable to save permission changes on TDL. Access is denied.

It is almost infuriating. I'm, I can take a sledge hammer to this PC and smash it to pieces, but Windows wants to tell me that as both the owner and administrator, that I can't have access to and delete a file.

It must be possible, as several people have apparently done it and resolved this warning.


Appreciate any guidance a more experienced person may provide.

Macromedia Flash registry keys non deletable?

Hello, friends.
On friend machine I made the mistake of installing the Adobe Macromedia Flash, instead of just depacking the installer and copy over the relevant files in Firefox plugins. As result, there are several non-deletable (regeditor refuse to delete them, CCleaner did not delete them as well) registry entries:




Both from Flash 9b and 10b versions as you can see in the image. Since regedit refuse the delete the keys AND CCleaner also refuse to delete them, I tried even the Registry Booster, yet this one did not even list them as error. If that is significant, I don't know. I just want them to "go away" and don't know how.
Thinking about Windows PE boot, but not sure if that is safe and if that will allow well me to manipulate with registry... Is not there any other way? There is NOTHING from the flash files in Windows directory at all. All are removed/deleted. I stick with the
flashplayer.xpt
NPSWF32.dll
NPSWF32_FlashUtil.exe
files extracted from the install and put in Firefox / Plugins, so I will not ever install that crap again. Never did on my machine and no problemo. But in case someone do, is there a known way to fix this? Using the Adobe utility to clean up is NOT the way to do...
Also installing new version did not seems to fix a thing.

 

ATITool registry key

Hello,

During ATITool installation, the following registry key was added to my registry:

"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Class\{85b5ddd0-e090-4b15-bdf2-a443a3ca0b66}"

After uninstalling the program, this key remained. I tried to delete it through the registry editor but it returned the following error:

"Cannot delete {85b5ddd0-e090-4b15-bdf2-a443a3ca0b66}: Error while deleting key."

I'm running Vista Home Premium 32-bit by the way. I also tried to change permissions for the key and deleting in safe mode, but neither of those worked either.

Any ideas on how i can remove this key? Any help is appreciated, thanks.

 

Forcing Ownership of Multiple Registry Keys

Is there a way to force ownership of more than one registry key at once? I have attempted to have subkeys and folders inherit from parent, and each time I am denied because I do not own the subkeys.

I am having to manually go through hundreds of keys and change ownership to myself so that I can install the program.
