Hi Aaron,
Dave is correct. We can manually enable Regedit in Group Policy Editor.
Meanwhile, running the following command can also enable Regedit:
REG add HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System /v DisableRegistryTools /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
In addition, this issue is usually caused by virus or spyware. Please scan the system to remove virus.
Regards,
Bruce
