1. Check the permissions on the registry key that is mentioned in the error message
The steps to check permissions on the registry key that is mentioned in the error message in order to fix error code 3 are as follows:
- Open the registry editor by clicking on the "Start" button, typing "regedit" in the search box, and pressing Enter.
- Navigate to the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
- Locate the "UserShell" key and double-click on it to open it.
- Locate the "Current" subkey and look for the "Logon" value. If the "Logon" value is set to "Admin", then the permissions on the "Current" subkey are correct. If the "Logon" value is not set to "Admin", then the permissions on the "Current" subkey need to be modified.
- If the "Logon" value is not set to "Admin", then the permissions on the "Current" subkey need to be modified. To do this, right-click on the "Current" subkey and select "Properties". Then, on the "Security" tab, select the "Set permissions" button and click on the "Browse" button. Navigate to the "User" folder and select the "Administrator" user account. Then, click on the "OK" button to apply the changes.
