      "HKLM:\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Run"
    )
    
    foreach ($key in $warpKeys) {
        try {
            # Find matching keys
            $matches = Get-ItemProperty -Path $key -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue | Out-String
            if ($matches -match "Warp") {
                Write-Output "Deleting registry key: $key"
                Remove-Item -Path $key -Recurse -Force -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
            }

    # Extra: search entire registry for "Warp" (this takes time)

        Where-Object { $_.Name -match "Warp" } |
