Windows 10 Registry Question

[Guest Phillip Lane]

Run "Regedit".

Right click on the registry areas noted below.

Select "Permissions..." and the "Advanced" button.

 

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SECURITY

Type - "Allow" for all

Inherited from - "None" for all

Principal - Access - Applies to

SYSTEM - Full Control - This key and subkeys

Administrators - Special - This key and subkeys

 

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE

Type - "Allow" for all

Inherited from - "None" for all

Principal - Access - Applies to

Users - Read - This key and subkeys

Administrators - Full Control - This key and subkeys

SYSTEM - Full Control - This key and subkeys

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM

Type - "Allow" for all

Inherited from - "None" for all

Principal - Access - Applies to

Users - Read - This key and subkeys

Administrators - Full Control - This key and subkeys

SYSTEM - Full Control - This key and subkeys

CREATOR OWNER - Full Control - This key and subkeys

The issue I am having is under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE, the following should be set CREATOR OWNER - Full Control - This key and subkeys, my CREATOR OWNER - Full Control – subkeys only and I cannot change this to the correct setting. When I edit the CREATOR OWNER and set the "Applies to" "This key and subkeys", I click apply and it reverts back to the subkey only setting. Any suggestions?
