Registry Fixup
There are two types of Registry Fixups: Modify Access and Fake Delete. Some applications may request for more permissions than they need while reading or creating registries. Such requests may sometimes be denied for an application running in an MSIX container thus failing the subsequent registry actions. The Modify Access Registry Fixup allows you to modify the requested access to return success for the registry calls that otherwise would have failed. The Fake Delete Registry Fixup returns a fake success to a registry delete request made by an application to make it believe that the registry was deleted.
