Why are the registry folders in HKEY_CURRENT_USER all strangely named, but not other HKEY folders?

0

I was looking into some registry editing and it required me to go to a path in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel but when I expanded the list, the subfolders were all named strange characters. Here is an image.

The only other registry editing I have done were in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, with the exception of disabling Xbox DVR. Interestingly, the path HKEY_CURRENT_USER\System\GameConfigStore is named correctly. image.

As mentioned in the title, the other HKEY registry folders seem normal. image.

I'm wondering what might cause this and if there's any way to fix it

1Your first image isn’t normal. Do you have multiple language packs installed? – Ramhound – 2019-04-09T01:55:15.830
