Give the ASP.NET process access as well as the IUSR account. Either that or
assign a user for the thread before making the call.

I am trying to access a registry key on computer like so: key = RegistryKey.OpenRemoteBaseKey(RegistryHive.LocalMachine, computerName).OpenSubKey(Subkey); There are two keys I am trying to read, 1 works, and the other gives me the "Requested registry access is not allowed." i've narrowed it down to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office It doesnt let me access that path, but the permissions are the same.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not.
