This thread reports Registry Editor and the taskbar repeatedly disabling themselves. described the symptom; and raised likely root causes. The following adds concrete diagnostic steps and fixes not covered in the replies, with cautions about editing system settings and backing up data first.

First determine whether the problem is per-user or system-wide: create a fresh local administrator account (Settings / Control Panel or a built-in admin) and sign in. If Registry Editor and the taskbar work in the new account, the fault is in the affected user hive (HKCU), a user-level policy, or a startup item. If the problem persists across accounts, it is system-wide.

Look for policy/lockdown values in the registry that prevent Registry Editor or the shell from running. Common values to remove are DisableRegistryTools under:

  • HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System
  • HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System

If regedit is blocked, an elevated command prompt (or the recovery environment) can delete those values. Example commands:

REG DELETE "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System" /v DisableRegistryTools /f

REG DELETE "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System" /v DisableRegistryTools /f

Also verify that the shell is correct: check HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Shell and confirm it is set to explorer.exe. Restart or start explorer.exe from Task Manager to restore the taskbar if the shell is misconfigured. Run sfc /scannow to repair system files and use a current offline scanner (for example Windows Defender Offline) to remove persistent boot-time components. If these steps fail, use System Restore to a prior point or perform a repair/in-place upgrade after backing up personal files.

Generally this is spyware related (if you're not on a network with policy's etc.) To fix it you can try getting into safemode with networking (in case you need to get a spyware scanner). Also you may try and get HijackThis. It is a very good tool for seeing what is really being loaded on your system at bootup and of course it's free. Search google for it if you need to but be VERY careful with it. It is a very powerful tool and you can screw things up pretty easy if you go around removing random things from the registry. Ask questions here if you need help knowing what to do in it.
