MalwareBytes keeps finding RegKey in MRT DontReportDetectionInformation

The keys get quarantined and deleted but seem to be randomly reappearing. I have ran the MRT and got no detections, I also tried Defender Offline scan and Full scan and neither are reporting anything. Not sure if there is an infection or if my device is creating the issues because the behavior wasn't solved by a device restore. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi, I'm Elise, and I'd be happy to help with your issue.

    It seems like you have something setting this registry entry, which basically just prevents access to the system properties. It's not particular malicious, just potential unwanted.

    If this doesn't cause you any issues, you might just want to add an exclusion, which you can do by following these steps:

    Please let me know if you need any further assistance.

    Kind Regards,
