Hi everyone, I’m addressing y’all because I couldn’t find a single viable option for this issue. Before I start, I’d like to mention that I’m french so I cannot really use any technical words there, I hope it’ll still be understandable…

I have a personnal computer. It is not from work or anything, and it’s been working fine for the past three years. Yesterday, I noticed Google Chrome wasn’t using google anymore, it was using bing as a search motor. I thought “shit, i might’ve downloaded a shitty extension again” so I went to delete it, but surprise as I arrived there. I found an extension that I never downloaded of course, called “YourSearchBar”, but could not delete it, as it was “managed by my organisation”, which is odd because I do not HAVE any organisation that is supposed to have control over this computer.

I searched for this issue on the internet and I was able to find a solution, which was to go into regedit and delete a specific key, and that seemed to work, I also deleted any program I thought was suspicious or unknown to me from my computer. It worked, until this morning I open my computer again to see the same damn problem ! And now I have NO WAY to delete keys in regedit again ! I tried modifying autorisations on those keys, I noticed they did not have a value as well and read something about them needing to have one for me to edit them, but I have no idea how should I fix this and I’d like to not screw up my computer.

So there I am, if anyone has an idea please, please help me. Have a great day, thanks for reading

    Okay I checked it and it says it doesn’t delete policies, which is what is causing the issue : There is a policy on my chrome that doesn’t want to go, even if I try deleting it manually in regedit
