I tried the attached version of regedit.exe (File version 10.0.10240.16384) on Windows Version 10.0.10586 and got this error: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
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.
The one I use is not free, its Registry Workshop. Bought it at least 6 years ago. Runs fine under windows 10.
Here is a link to their site, if you want to try it.

Fixed with Anniversary Update.
