I have similar issue. Sorry, it’s in polish but the error is the same but registry numbers are different:

Zgodnie z ustawieniami uprawnienia właściwe dla aplikacji nie jest udzielane uprawnienie Lokalny Aktywacja do aplikacji serwera COM z identyfikatorem klasy CLSID
{6B3B8D23-FA8D-40B9-8DBD-B950333E2C52}
i identyfikatorem aplikacji APPID
{4839DDB7-58C2-48F5-8283-E1D1807D0D7D}
użytkownikowi ZARZĄDZANIE NTUSŁUGA LOKALNA o identyfikatorze zabezpieczeń SID (S-1-5-19) z adresu LocalHost (użycie LRPC) działającemu w kontenerze aplikacji o identyfikatorze SID Niedostępny (Niedostępny)

I wanted to fix those registry keys but they are responsible for running in administrative mode… So in order to fix those keys I need to run as admin but I can’t because those keys are broken because of update. So I can’t change those permissions and circle closes :(.

Basically, it looks like that: a program asks to run with admin mode, I agree, all seems fine, but when the program tries to execute something, it fails, so even regedit cannot change permissions of any type.

Any idea how to bypass that?
