Quick Access to Any Registry Key using Address Bar

It'll be very time-consuming in navigating through the registry key by manually. To help users get rid of that painful experience to navigate to Registry subkey, Windows 10 Create Update introduces the super handy Address Bar feature that allows you to quickly navigate to any registry key.

How to Use Address Bar in Registry Editor

Step 1: Open Registry Editor.

Press Windows key on the keyboard, then type regedit and then press Enter key.

Step 2: In the Registry Editor, right under the top menu, you'll see the new address bar.

To make it easier to focus on the Address bar, press Alt+D on the keyboard. With the address bar, you no longer have to manually navigate to the key, you can just paste or type in the location you want to go to. For example, if you want to navigate to the following registry key, just copy&paste it to the address bar and hit Enter.
