    There is no support for this currently.  It would be possible to extend the RegLegacyFixup to support this, but I have not seen enough demand to take on that work (probably more than a month of effort).  The solution would be to redirect to HKCU (similar to App-V) but it isn't as simple as redirecting as enumeration support also needs to be addressed.

    It would help to gather a list of apps that need it.  Most seem to be "in-house" apps that nobody wants to touch.  For major ecosystem apps, I am aware that Bloomberg Studio requires this.
