Somehow the permissions have been changed in registry for the following key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
therefore, everytime I set a program to start when windows starts, it fails to start, and is not listed in above key. In fact, above key is always blank, here lately, since this happened. I have been having to use other programs e.g. WinPatrol to set programs to autostart. Is there a way to repair this key so that it will start programs like I want it to?
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

One way can be to start regedt32 which is different than regedit. Goto the key you need to change and Edit >> Permissions and you’ll get a list of who is allowed access to that key. Add you account and give it full control. Make sure you create a backup of the registry with system restore first.
