Registry Editor crashing

From what I can tell, this is fixed in Insider 14316. Just have to wait for it to roll out in a cumulative update for current build.

Well. I guess we just have to see about that... I mean, it's been this way since at least Oct 31, so.....

Edit:
But who knows? Perhaps it'll be solved with the Anniversary Update, this coming summer.

Here is Regedit extracted from the RTM Windows 10 Pro 64-bit build 10240 (this was the first official build released). This resolves the issue, but I don't know what changes were made to regedit in the most recent build (10586) and why

I tried the attached version of regedit.exe (File version 10.0.10240.16384) on Windows Version 10.0.10586 and got this error:

This version of C:\Windows\regedit.exe is not compatible with the version of Windows you're running. Check your computer's system information and then contact the software publisher.

...which is a real shame because all the other fixes I've found involve deleting registry keys; they are there for a reason right?
Is there some other detail I am missing?

I was just trying to use Regedit to sort out some 10016 errors which appear in Event Viewer to find Regedit crashes when searching. It's amazing MS with all their resources have broken this essential utility which used to work just fine.

Use a Good 3rd Party Registry program, I haven't used Windows regedit in years. Besides some of them are 100% better and more options.

I've always used Regedit since it always worked until Windows 10! Which free registry editor do you recommend for compatibility with Windows 10?

Fixed with Anniversary Update.
