Autoruns renders system unbootable, while using it from within WinPE:

Autoruns -> Files -> Analyze Offline System…

Last version causing no trouble using it this way is 13.100.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/autoruns

Running Autoruns from a fully installed system and using this method does not cause any problems so far.

Affected registry hives are SOFTWARE and SYSTEM.

Recovering the system or at least some entries is only successful with an (older) existing backup of the registry files.
The corrupted registry file SYSTEM even lost the computername. All information off the harddrives are lost too.

Registry Recon confirms it. All red entries have been damaged.

I am not sure where exactly i should report this.

It can easily be reproduced by running it under any WinPE, it happens every time i used it.

I like to use the newest versions under PE again.

Maybe there is a way to recover the lost entries.

I appreciate any help.

With kind regards
