InsaneAl Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 There has been no end of problems in the Win10 Anniversary 1607 update,, lots in the registry too, but I noticed that Regedit.exe ran very well.. Just yesterday I made the decision to restore an older C:Drive image pre the update. Now things are running very sweetly once again, however, like I already knew, Regedit.exe in this older Win10 1511 build 10586.164 has known faults and does not run that well. I saved the new Regedit.exe from 1607 but cannot overwrite the existing earlier version in \SysWOW64\ folder.. I get "Access denied" when I try. I should know how to do this but Win10 has some funny rules.. The Win10 v1607 regedit (v10.0.14393) ran perfectly, so I want it... Can anyone help here...???

tiliarou Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Did you take ownership of regedit.exe ? Check the properties and your credential authorization. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InsaneAl Posted October 12, 2016 Author Share Posted October 12, 2016 SOLVED...!!! No, to be honest I have never tried getting full control over a file. The registry - Yes,, but never a file. It must be a similar event - right..?? InsaneAl ************************************************************* Edit later... Messed with ownership/permissions and got it, although I did find that using Total Commander 32 bit wouldn't let me copy & overwrite it, but TC x64 did... Cheers 'n' thanks InsaneAl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
