Things missing in registry

[dbagmassive]

I noticed in my regedit it looks a little barren and i'm in fact missing 3 registry entries in software\microsoft\ole specifically, DefaultAccessPermission, DefaultLaunchPermission, MachineAccessRestriction
Will this impact my system at all and if so how do i fix this or restore this?

 

[dbagmassive]

Is anyone able to help with this?

don't bump, especially after just hours.

Why do you need those entries? How do you know they are missing?

Microsoft makes changes all the time, so not going to be able to give you a definitive on this one. If you want those registry entries you might be able to add them back in by hand. Sometimes Microsoft removes things but leaves the underlying code. Sometimes they will stop effecting the system.

Still miss my 3D Canvas color setting...

because in every picture/video of that reg folder they are there and they aren't there for me

maybe they have stuff installed you don't.

It's also here so i doubt it

What is your computer not doing or doing that these settings would change for you?

They are doing kernel refreshes bi-annually now. So any documentation you find out there might already be out of date.

I don't know, hence why i asked "Will this impact my system at all " in my question

And the question is still are you noticing any problems? If not, don't worry about it.

Your link fails.

Your link fails.

odd, it should work, if you just google DefaultAccessPermission it should be the first link

Without looking it up, do you know what OLE stands for and does?
Do you know that you need those entries?
Is your system running OK?
What prompted you to go look for those Reg keys?

Why are you asking about this? Why do you want these?

I looked for no reason tbh, system running fine and don't really know what they do, hence why i asked "will this impact my system at all" i put that in to make it clear i didn't know much about it

Then leave it be.
If you don't know what you're doing and why, poking around in the Registry can be fraught with fail.

I'm 100% sure that your Registry has keys that mine doesn't, and mine has some that yours does not.

I'm sure, however i would still like to know what they do and if not having them will effect my pc

1. No, not having those will not break your PC.

2. OLE stands for Object Linking and Embedding.
An older MS technology used to share data among applications, primarily Office applications.
For instance, how to embed an Excel workbook in a PowerPoint slide.

There are other uses, but if one of your applications needed it, it would have created those Reg keys.

So it won't cause crashes or anything and would only come into play if i was using an office application?

Has it crashed yet? Apparently, no.
If something you used needed it...it would exist.

Don't stress.

i am pretty sure you don't need OLE Object Linking and Embedding, very old stuff. Do you have any OLE applications and have you configured OLE to run on Windows 10? If not, don't worry about it.

 

[13thmonkey]

given how big the registry is, how on earth did you find that these were missing.

Magnifying glass!!!!
