"MsSense.exe: error 5" when executing gflags

Question

Hi everyone,

I can't find much information about this issue.

When I execute "gflags.exe" everything works just fine, when I try "gflags.exe /p" to list the configurations I receive the following error:

Error: Cannot open key MsSense.exe: error 5

As you can see on the image below, I am trying this as Administrator, in both versions x64 and x86. (Windows 10)

Thanks a lot,

Ricardo

Hello @Ricardo Valim

The same issue was reported and solution was provided in the next thread:

I would recommend to check and implement the actions discussed as a first approach.

Hope this helps with your query,
