REG add "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System" /t Reg_dword /v DisableRegistryTools /f /d 0
You could also copy the above into your clipboard then try typing CMD into the Run box or search bar. Then you would right click and select paste to paste the above into the command bar, then hit enter.
Then try testing Regedit to see if it wil run. If not, try a reboot and try again.
Or you could paste the above into a txt file and rename it to have the .bat extension. Then try double-clicking on the file. Then you could test regedit, and reboot and test again if it fails.
If this fails, there are other methods.
