Fix Microsoft Register Server Stopped Working 64-bit

If you’re experiencing issues with Microsoft Register Server on your 64-bit system, fear not. We’ve got a solution for you.

Troubleshooting Microsoft(C) Register Server on 64-bit Systems

If you’re experiencing issues with Microsoft Register Server on a 64-bit system, there are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot the problem. First, check the error messages you’re receiving to pinpoint the issue. If you’re encountering an error popup box, try typing msconfig in the search bar to access the System Configuration tab. From there, navigate to the Services tab and uncheck the box next to “Register Server” to prevent it from starting up automatically.

If that doesn’t work, you may need to use the regsvr32 command to manually register the DLL or OCX file causing the problem. To do this, open Command Prompt as an administrator and type “regsvr32.exe [file name]” to register the file.

If you’re still having trouble, you can try disabling Data Execution Prevention (DEP) for the Register Server service. To do this, navigate to Control Panel > System and Security > System > Advanced system settings > Performance > Settings > Data Execution Prevention. From there, select the option to “Turn on DEP for all programs and services except those I select” and add Register Server to the exception list.

These solutions should help get your Microsoft Register Server back up and running smoothly on your 64-bit system.

Configuring DEP Attributes for 64-bit Executables

To configure DEP attributes for 64-bit executables, follow these steps:
1. Open Control Panel and go to System.
2. Click on Advanced System Settings.
3. Click on the Advanced tab and then click on Settings under the Performance section.
4. Click on the Data Execution Prevention tab.
5. Select the option “Turn on DEP for all programs and services except those I select.”
6. Click on Add and locate the executable file you want to configure.
7. Select the file and click on Open.
8. Click on Apply and then click on OK.

This solution applies to Windows 7 and Windows 11 operating systems and can help fix the Microsoft Register Server Stopped Working 64-bit error messages or blue screen issues on your PC.

Additionally, you can use the regsvr32 command to register DLL or OCX files and the MSConfig tool to manage system services at startup. Be careful when modifying system services or using third-party services as they can cause high CPU usage or system instability.

Removing Primary Keys as a DEP Solution

Removing primary keys can be a solution to fix Microsoft Register Server stopped working on a 64-bit operating system. To do this, first open the registry editor by typing “regedit” in the start menu search bar. Navigate to the “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options” key. Find the “regsvr32.exe” value and delete it. This will remove any third-party services that may be causing the error. You may also want to disable any services that may be causing issues. To do this, type “msconfig” in the start menu search bar, and go to the “Services” tab. Uncheck any services that are not essential to your PC’s operation. Finally, restart your computer and check if the error has been resolved. This should fix the Microsoft Register Server stopped working error and prevent any blue screen or high CPU usage issues.
