Hi,

  1. What exactly happens when you run regedit?
  2. Do you get any error message?

I would suggest you to follow these steps and check if it helps.

Method 1:

  2. Click Continue or supply Administrator credentials if prompted.
  3. In the Command Prompt window type the following, and press Enter:
