    Windows 10 reading from multiple SOFTWARE reg hives simultaneously


    I had an issue with a few startup programs that weren't starting at startup. Google back-up-and-sync and Dropbox. They were both marked as enabled in CCleaner.

    When opening the startup tab in windows 10 task manager, things got stranger. Google was listed but dropbox not. In the Google BU-and-Sync preferences, when I toggled the checkbox to run at startup, the row in the task manager startup tab would correctly disappear and appear instantly and accordingly. But with Dropbox, it would never even appear.

    So I decided to do more digging and went to the startup items in CCleaner, and right-clicked to choose "open in regedit..."

    Each time I did this with a different startup item, it opened regedit in multiple tabs and that's when I realized that it seemed as if I had two versions of the SOFTWARE HIVE in the registry.

    When opening regedit from the windows search bar, it opens a different SOFTWARE hive than when opening the registry from CCleaner (see screenshot below - both paths are the same.)

    But as you see in the screenshot below, I only have ONE software hive in any given view of the registry.

    Can someone please explain to me what's going on?

    When comparing HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\hivelist from both results, the entries look identical:

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

    How to create a registry hive file from a .reg backup

    The script you have linked is a PowerShell script, it needs to be saved with a .ps1 extension and executed in PowerShell.

    Can you try saving it as a .ps1 file and running it, does this resolve your issues?

    Edit:

    The contents of your .ps1 file should be:

    And then just change this C:\MyHive.reg to point to your .reg file and HiveName to the name of the Hive to be created.
