Causes

The issue is caused by the insufficient permission on registry key: 

at Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey.OpenSubKey(String name, Boolean writable)    

Solutions 

To solve the issue, please follow these steps:

  1. Use the Process Monitor to monitor the registry, once you get the following ACCESS DENIED message(You can filter the result with “Result contains Access Denied”):  

    Date & Time:      <date time>

    Event Class:        Registry

    Operation: RegOpenKey

    Result:  ACCESS DENIED

    Path:     HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office Server\14.0

    TID:        2020

    Duration:             0.0000297

    Desired Access:                Read

  2. Open Registry Editor (Start > Run, type regedit)

  3. Open key: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office Server\14.0(got from Process Monitor from step 1)

  4. Assign the SharePoint Timer Service account the Read permission to this key

    FIxed it for me aswell. Tried so many other "fixes" for this problem.
    The main issue in my case was that My Site didn't list my tasks, it said "Sorry, we're having trouble refreshing your tasks" and none of the other fixes on Google worked.

    Found the error above in my ULS log and voilá :)

    Thanks!
