Seems like the registry settings got stuck with some weird permissions. Glad to hear it's all good now, thanks for following up! ]]> RE: DF9Beta4: "Failed to read Registry" error when exporting settings. https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/df9beta4-failed-to-read-registry-error-when-exporting-settings/?ID=c246dd2c-47b3-4903-a892-4655161d6211#2 Fri, 22 Sep 2017 03:56:12 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/df9beta4-failed-to-read-registry-error-when-exporting-settings/?ID=c246dd2c-47b3-4903-a892-4655161d6211#2 DisplayFusion Update: I fully uninstalled DF and re-installed it. I successfully imported previously saved settings. I can now export settings without any error. So this issue is resolved. ]]> DF9Beta4: "Failed to read Registry" error when exporting settings. https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/df9beta4-failed-to-read-registry-error-when-exporting-settings/?ID=c246dd2c-47b3-4903-a892-4655161d6211 Fri, 22 Sep 2017 03:39:22 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/df9beta4-failed-to-read-registry-error-when-exporting-settings/?ID=c246dd2c-47b3-4903-a892-4655161d6211 DisplayFusion This applies to Windows 10x64 Build 15063.608 V1703 with 3 monitors (3-2-1) with monitor 2 as the primary monitor. The primary monitor is touch screen.

When attempting to export DisplayFusion's settings I get an error.

Error: Failed to read Registry:
- Error: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Binary Fortress Software\DisplayFusion\Taskbars\2\ButtonOrder]: Requested registry access is not allowed.

If I exit DF and restart it with "Run as Administrator", this error does not occur and the settings are exported.

A "detailed" log is attached showing the failure process. ]]>
