Very odd little problem I have just run into. Running Win 10 Home and I cannot open regedit...

I have tried opening it from an elevated command prompt - nope
I have tried going to system32 and right click -> Run as Admin - nope

It doesn't error, it just doesn't show up on the screen when I try to run it.

I have tried this from my default account and I also enabled the Administrator account and logged onto that... Still won't open.

Thanks in advance !

I feel sheepish... I hadn't gotten a virus with 7 despite *years* of fast and loose Internet habits lol.

It was a malicious program though. I couldn't even open Malware Bytes, I had to use the Chameleon mode. It found *a lot of badness* lol.

Everything is nice and fixed now though. Thanks m8 !
