~~Was the '7' in '17' a typo? '1' would be string type, like the example:
"1"="HDAUDIO\\FUNC_01&VEN_10EC&DEV_0235"~~
Additionally, it mentions \\ is required for device IDs with strings. It seems when adding the extra slash to the
"17"="SWC\VEN_AVOL&AID_0400"
->
"1"="SWC\\VEN_AVOL&AID_0400"
Now properly gets added.
Update: After reading more I see 17 was an arbitrary value picked, and has no effect on the result. The real issue was the missing double slashes. It does mention to do incrementing keys, but I assume any int is valid.
Apologies if this is a non-issue as I'm not very familiar with windows registry.
When executing the .reg I do see the new directories get created and the two dwords: DenyDeviceIDs DenyDeviceIDsRetroactive
get added with the value of 1.
However the below line:
Seems to do nothing? I see no dword/string or any form of key that contains the value 17 or the SWC string.
