Windows 10: Registry problems

I messed up the registry permissions. I went to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software and HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID and gave full control and read for everything. Now I cannot access the start menu, Windows keyboard doesn't work and games and apps run very slowly. How to fix it?

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

As per the description, I understand that you are facing some issues using Windows 10.

I would like to know some information.

  What registry fix are you trying to run?
  
• 
  What is the exact issue that you are facing?
  
• 
  Have you taken a backup of all your data?
  

I would suggest you to take a backup of all your data before doing any changes in the registry keys. If you do any incorrect changes to the registry you won’t be able to boot the computer.

That seems to be an attempt at Option 2 in the tutorial, which requires you to
a. Boot to a command prompt (Did you?)
b. You then seem to be mixing steps 3,4 and 5, thus your command is incorrect.

I suggest Option 1 is easier.

If you still have problems, please repost listing each specific step and saying which option from the tutorial you are using. Thanks.
