Cannot install GOG Galaxy

Hi, my name is Kelly, and I'm an independent consultant and I'm here to help.

This error usually occurs because you don't have permission to modify the registry key specified in the error message.

To fix this error, you can try the following steps:

Make sure you are running the GOG Galaxy installation as an administrator. To do this, right-click on the installation file and select "Run as administrator".

Make sure the user account you are using has administrator permissions. If not, log in with an account that has administrator permissions and try installing again.

Open the registry editor (regedit.exe) and navigate to the registry key specified in the error message (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run). Right-click on the key and select "Permissions". Make sure the user account you are using has write permissions for this key.

If you're still having trouble installing GOG Galaxy after trying these solutions, you may need to contact GOG support for further help.

 

How to uninstall GOG Galaxy

Hello there, I'm Gopal an Independent Advisor. I will try my best to help you.

I understand how frustrating it must be to be stuck with a malfunctioning GOG Galaxy app and unable to play your games.

Please try to end the process in the background and then uninstall it.

Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open the Task Manager. Look for any GOG Galaxy-related processes in the "Processes" or "Details" tab, such as "GalaxyClient.exe" or "GalaxyCommunication.exe". Right-click on each process and select "End Task" to terminate them. This should ensure that the app is not running in the background.

Then, you can follow the below steps to uninstall it

Open the Settings app by pressing Windows + I.

Go to "Apps" and click on the "Installed apps" option.

Find and select the GOG Galaxy app from the list.

Click the three-dot button and choose the "Uninstall" option.

I hope this will help you to sort out the issue. Please let me know if you need further assistance. Thank you!

Regards

Gopal

 

GOG Games Not Booting

Hi MKCFenix，

Perhaps these questions are superfluous, but I have to confirm the situation with you:

1. Can you download the game through GOG Galaxy?

2. Did you uninstall the GOG Galaxy platform and reinstall it?

Your computer is perfectly equipped to run Steam and Epic Games, which leads me to believe that the problem is not systems or hardware, so I focus on GOG Galaxy apps.

Thanks for your patience and understanding!
