HKCU registry key is not applied

[BKPB]

Hello, there is a problem with applying the registry file.

I'm trying to add an entry to the registry, but no changes are made to the registry.

It only works if I run files manually from the Desktop.

Some registry keys are not applied offline, I have some

Otherwise test by adding the registry key via the .reg (Registry Page)

Post-Setup (Before logon) tasks run under the SYSTEM user identity. HKCU is actually a shorthand for your profile (as the Current User).

There is no point running HKCU customizations from (Before logon) since they don't apply to you (or the Default user). You're not logged on.

HKCU keys should be applied from (After logon), but only affect the first logon user.
HKLM keys can be applied in both, but normally from (Before logon).

If you need to apply HKCU changes to multiple users, including future users not yet created, then you need to script (Before logon) changes to the Default User's registry hive.

reg load HKU\Default C:\Users\Default\NTUSER.dat
reg add "HKU\Default\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows" /v MenuDropAlignment /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
reg unload HKU\Default

Not everything in the Default User's profile is copied to a newly created user. The provisioning process appears to block or reset some desktop values, and so it's best to use (After logon) since those tasks run AFTER you're logged on.
