Hi, all

DB410C, IoT 10.0.17763.253

I want to delete or change the Hotkeys refer here.

  1. But the reg delete can't return after a long time.

reg query "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\IoTShellExtension\HotKeys" /s

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\IoTShellExtension\HotKeys
Home REG_QWORD 0x5b
Next REG_QWORD 0x2000000050009
Prev REG_QWORD 0x1000000010009

reg delete "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\IoTShellExtension\HotKeys"

  1. So, I try to set the Home value but encounter "Access is denied."
    reg add "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\IoTShellExtension\HotKeys" /v Home /t reg_qword /d 0x3000000000000 /f

ERROR: Access is denied.

Any ideas?

    Hi,

    >ERROR: Access is denied.

    As the error message pointed, you didn't have the permission to modify the registry. Please use the administrator account.
    Open in Device Portal or launch Powershell from IoT Core Dashboard.
