About a week ago I was trying to help someone for whom Paratext 7.5 updates were failing. His computer was missing several of these registry keys (and he’d also moved his Projects folder to inside Documents, which was redirected to the macOS host, which caused more problems)
Here’s an export of the Paratext 7 settings. Edit as appropriate and save the portion between the lines as a .REG file and double-click to load it into the registry. (You probably want to remove the version numbers if you have a different version installed.)

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ScrChecks\1.0\ParatextVersion]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ScrChecks\1.0\Program_Files_Directory_Ptw7]

Here’s my registry for Paratext 8:
