[Invalid] An issue I have while attempting to run Settings, and things as admin.

Hello!
I've been having an issue today. I never used VBox in a couple of months because I switched to VMware. However I'm coming back, and I'm having an annoying error while trying to Run apps as admin, and running settings. I get an error saying "This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Please install a program or, if one is already installed, create an association in the Default Programs control panel.". I tried to google it, did all the "fixes", none worked, I then loaded my snapshot to go back. I had this issue when I was trying to edit the registry. I edited the names of the Disk drives, Display adapters, and DVD/CD-ROM drive. I also got the error when I tried going to "Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall", and added a DWORD named "SystemComponent", and changed the value to 1; to hide the GA in the uninstall list, the second time, I just deleted the folder containing GA in the uninstall registry. The reason why it is bugging me is because I did this before, and it worked. I never had problems. This is my 3rd time installing windows on the VM (yes i forgot to make a backup of the registry). Should I downgrade to the 5.X.X versions? Or do you guys have any ideas? (sorry if I'm being an idiot here). Thanks!
