Failed To Update Registry - Message
Failed To Update Registry - Message
(OP)
Does anyone have an answer as to why I get a Solidworks message that says:-
"Failed to update the system registry - please try using REGEDIT"
This occurs three times at each SW start up, but if I click on OK each time it disappears and the program will function flawlessly, I assumed it was to do with my Norton Anti-virus software, but I have since done a clean install with it disabled, and get exactly the same result.

Is that the entire message?
Are you running a system settings monitor of any kind?
Try turning of the Norton AV before starting SW ... just to see if the message still appears.

I am not entirely sure what you mean about a system settings monitor, but I do not know of any such programs running on my PC.

They only block system changes if they are known to be (or suspected to be) bad or if specifically requested to do so. Any auto-blocked changes can usually be overidden & added to an "allowed" list.
Does the message have a header or title showing which program is displaying it?
