About this tag
The tag hku on WindowsForum.com covers discussions about the HKU registry hive in Windows, particularly in the context of applying system-wide registry tweaks. A common topic is enabling the full context menu in Windows 11 for all users by modifying the HKU/Default profile, as opposed to HKCU which only affects the current user.

The tag is relevant for IT administrators and advanced users seeking to deploy registry modifications across multiple user profiles in Windows environments.
