The second link that I provided includes several options you can perform if in case you don't have a backup for your registry. I suggest that you check the option for recovery using a restore point. Check if you have a restore point prior to the registry being edited and use that to revert your system to the time when everything was still working. Otherwise, you may need to reset your computerto the default settings.
Hi Noah,
When modifying the registry, it's important to ensure that you always create a back up in case that something unforeseen occurs. If you were able to create a back up for it, you can follow the instructions on this link on how to restore your registry.
If you don't have one, I suggest that you take a look at this link for other recovery options you can perform to bring your computer back to a workable state.
If you continue to have this issue even after performing the above steps, please reply to this thread. The system will notify me so I can get back to you and provide you more answers.
