How to use RegEdit utility to see Virtual Registry for a Win32 UWP app


Is it possible to see the Virtual Registry of my Win32 UWP app (desktop-bridge converted)? I know that all programmatic access goes to the virtual registry and that works. But I want to view it with RegEdit. Any solutions?

I remember viewing it about a year back but don't remember the details.


Solution

  • Yes, you can. We built a free tool called Hover that allows you to launch an external process in the context of your MSIX/APPX container. Using this tool you can launch Regedit, cmd.exe, PowerShell, or other processes inside your container, and thus have access to the same resources your app does.
