My Windows version is 1803 (OS build 17134.472).
I don't believe I have any outstanding updates (except for an Office XP Service Pack 3 which fails to install).

Do you have a suggestion for a lightweight registry cleaner? I ran CCleaner (portable) earlier today. The only registry errors still showing are 'Missing MUI Reference' for a bunch of my .bat files in my SendTo directory.

I'm not sure whether I'm looking at the correct part of the registry but this is an export of something that looks relevant:
Code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.epub]

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.epub\OpenWithList]
"a"="balabolka.exe"
"b"="ebook-viewer.exe"
"c"="Sigil.exe"
"d"="xplorer2_64.exe"
"e"="chrome.exe"
"f"="DigitalEditions.exe"
"g"="Kobo.exe"
"h"="ebook-edit.exe"
"i"="SigilPortable.exe"
"j"="dijabcefg"
"k"="egdacfb"
"MRUList"="ihbecgfda"
"l"="Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe!MicrosoftEdge"

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.epub\UserChoice]
"Hash"="RXZARJEkqbA="
"ProgId"="calibreViewer64bit.AssocFile.EPUB"
Would you mind comparing it with your equivalent to see if anything stands out.

One thing I do see is that entries still exist for ADE and Sigil (non-portable) which are no longer installed. So CCleaner didn't remove those. I'm a bit nervous about manual edits using regedit.
