Microsoft says the modern Registry Editor that went viral is only a sample

[Kayla73]

A slick new Registry Editor that caused excitement online is not coming to Windows. Windows Central reports that Microsoft has confirmed the modern looking app is a sample, not a preview of a real replacement

It is a demo for Microsoft UI Reactor, meant to show developers what the technology can do. It caused an uproar after a report described it as not a mock up

Microsoft vice president Scott Hanselman wrote on X that it is a sample, noting that the original post only pointed this out in its last line. Marcus Ash, who leads Windows Insider, added that it is not a developer preview of a new regedit

Windows Central's sources say a modern Registry Editor is planned under an effort called Windows K2, but other priorities come first, and its design is unlikely to resemble the sample. Fans of the old tool will have to wait

The excitement shows how much people would welcome a refreshed Registry Editor, which has looked almost the same for decades. Microsoft clearing up the confusion quickly was sensible. Hopefully the real version arrives one day with useful features like better search
