Hey guys, So I'm having an issue with my computer right now. I keep on getting this error about every 10 minutes, and I've tried getting permissions to over run it, but I can't seem to get it to go away. I could use some help!

Here's what it's been giving me:

    May be malware or some errant script running. I'd also try from a clean boot.

    Hi ,

    The error "invalid root in registry key" might occur if your computer has been infected by a virus or a malware which affects the registry of the system. For us to better assist you, kindly provide us the following details:

    Have you made any changes on your computer prior to the issue?
    Do you have any antivirus software installed on your computer?

    You can follow these steps:

    Step 1: Boot into safe mode and check if the issue persists

    Step 2: If issue does not persist in safe mode, we suggest you to place the computer in clean boot and check which third party application driver is causing the issue.

    Best regard,
    Sylvia
