Regedit can't finish searching
Was trying to scan my registry using "find" in regedit. I click on Edit\Find and to look at Keys and Match whole string only for "Run".
It will a few entries but when it gets to Local Machine\software\wow6432Node\Microsoft\windows\CurrentVersion\Run and I do a F3 to continue, it hangs "Searching the registry". The only option is to "Cancel" and then I get "Registry Editor has stopped working".
I've run SFC, chkdsk, and done both in safe mode with no problems found. This pc (Dell XPS 8900) is only 2 weeks old. So then I did a Reset and after it was done tried again with the same result.
Any ideas out there without doing a full rebuild? I did contact Microsoft Help desk. Not much help.
