Eryk: The whoami process check output shows that my account is in BUILTIN\Administrators, which proves that the account I am logged in as local Administrator permissions. As for the OpenKey method, it fails with [WinError 5] Access denied, exactly the same way my example also failed, and the reason why these consistently fail is because they are pointed to HKLM, essentially replicating the issue that I pointed out. I have also tried different combinations of security flags (winreg.KEY_ALL_ACCESS, winreg.KEY_WOW64_64KEY, etc.), but keep getting the same results. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue44046> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
