I am receiving an error when trying to use the domain cached credentials explorer. The error is "Error initializing cached credentials engine: can't read cache control value". Any help?
This error means that the program failed to read some control registry values. The reason is that the domain cache has not been initialized yet (f.e. a pre-installation state) or the credentials were wiped out. Note that on modern OSes the control value is set by default, even if there are no cached credentials.
The error message "Error initializing cached credentials engine: can't read cache control value" suggests there might be an issue with accessing or reading the cache control value.To troubleshoot this issue, I recommend checking the following:
[list=1]
[*]Permissions: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to access the cached credentials and that there are no restrictions in place that might be preventing reading the cache control value.
[*]Cache Configuration: Verify that the cache control value is properly configured and accessible within your system settings. It's possible that there may be a misconfiguration or corruption causing the error.
[*]Software Updates: Make sure that your software is up to date with the latest patches and updates. Sometimes, issues like these can be resolved by installing the latest software versions.
