Regedit: cannot take ownership of a key...

[Benedictus]

Hail:

Win 10 Pro x64, clean install as of just now.

Tried to alter a key with Regedit, did all the right things, but the key refuses to accept me as owner, to allow me to change a value.

I added my account as admin, full rights, but nothing helps..
I can even check the full control box, and upon apply/OK Regedit accepts the change.

However, as soon as I try to alter the value... error.
"Cannot edit attributes: error writing the values new content."

Can someone give me an idea, or is there a tool that can unlock keys, please?
This is giving me a massive headache...

Thank you,.

What keya re you trying to edit?

The key that should remove quick access from Explorer...
It seems to be write protected, or protected in some other form.
I did manage to take control over it's master key, but that does not affect the underlayintg key, though I did toggle the box for all underlying keys...
The key itself refuses to accept me.

Think I could manage through the build-in Admin Account?
I do not like offline editing of the register, tbh...
Had an issue doing that in W7U-x64, lost tons of data then... 🙁
