Unusual registry keys
All,
Today was not a good day - I ran Windows update and after restarting, my computer hung at the ""Preparing to configure Windows. Do not turn off your computer." message. Took numerous reboots, including safe mode and using a previous restore point to get things running again.
After all of these shenanigans, I found a number of unusual registry keys, specifically HKEY_USERS\PE_C_CLASSIC .NET APPPOOL, HKEY_USERS\PE_C_DEFAULTAPPPOOL, HKEY_USERS\PE_C_TEMP, and HKEY_USERS\PE_D_DEFAULT.
I googled, but found no reference to these. I do not know if there is any correlation between the events of today and these keys. The date stamp on them makes me think not, but I do need to ask if anyone knows what they are? Should they be removed?
