Avoid Registry Wow6432Node Redirection

Question

I\'m trying to insert some simple registry keys using Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey in c# but the path automatically changes from:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE         


        

Answer 1

You can use RegistryKey.OpenBaseKey to solve this problem:

var baseReg = RegistryKey.OpenBaseKey(RegistryHive.LocalMachine, RegistryView.Registry64);
var reg = baseReg.CreateSubKey("Software\\Test");
