BC AdBot (Login to Remove)
If you are experiencing the issue of a grayed out “Cannot Load Registry Hive” option, follow these steps to fix the problem:
Firstly, ensure that the BC AdBot is logged in to remove any potential barriers to accessing the Registry Hive. This login step is essential for making changes to the system settings.
Next, try rebooting the system to see if the grayed out option becomes available after a fresh start. Sometimes, a simple reboot can resolve the issue and allow you to access the Registry Hive.
If the problem persists, you can try accessing the Registry Hive through the Command-line interface in the Recovery Console. This will give you direct access to the system settings and allow you to make the necessary changes to fix the grayed out option.
Additionally, check the environment variables on your system to ensure they are correctly configured. Incorrect environment variables can sometimes cause issues with accessing the Registry Hive.
If all else fails, you may need to boot into Safe Mode to troubleshoot the problem further. Safe Mode limits the number of drivers and services running, which can help isolate the issue and allow you to access the Registry Hive.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why can’t I load hive in regedit?
You can’t load hive in regedit because it does not allow it when elevated with URM. The restore privilege is required for this action to be possible. Make sure to set the state of the SeRestorePrivilege privilege to “Enable” in the User Rights Management Policy being used to elevate regedit.exe.
