How do I fix a registry error when opening the Hololight Stream Runtime utility?

Resolve the “Failed to read registry value” warning by assigning the correct permissions

When I open the Hololight Stream Runtime utility, I see a warning that says Failed to read registry value. This issue occurs because Hololight Stream Runtime doesn’t have permission to access or modify the Windows registry.

To resolve this, you need to allow the utility to make changes to your registry

Follow these steps to fix the issue:

  1. With the Hololight Stream Runtime utility open, go to General > Active Runtime > User > Set.

  3. Select Yes.
  4. Then select Active Runtime > System > Set.
