I'm very curious to what the "LockDatabase" feature does in the registry. I'm referring to the one I found in:
Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings

An image from 'Requesting Registry Information'. Registry settings showing DWORD and QWORD values related to database and proxy.

Well it isn't a documented setting so it is most likely used internally by Internet explorer or edge. Also most of the time when you have DWORDs or QWORDS they are used as bitwise flags (basically multiple settings rolled up into one registry value).
