Registry changes revert back after restart

Question

I am trying to make some changes in registry of my new windows 10 device. and I am able to do it. However, If I restart my device, All the changes revert back to the default values. I tried to contacting windows 10 customer care. However, they are reluctant to help. Did anyone have the same issue? How to solve this issue?

Try to run regedit.exe in elevated mode (Run as Admin), I hope it will work.

SalmanAhmed&nbsp;you can check if any local policies are enabled, which are reverting the registry changes.&nbsp;

You're correct, if the policies are applied, they may prevent the registry changes.
