How to run the .reg file using PowerShell?

I want to run the .reg file (registry file) using PowerShell Script but I am not able to run it. When i run it manually it creates the respective nodes in registry but i want it execute using powershell script.
Below is the code which i tried using but got no results -

$PathofRegFile="c:\file.reg"
regedit /s $PathofRegFile

Another code which i tried was this -

Start-Process -filepath "C:\windows\regedit.exe" -argumentlist "/s c:\file.reg"

Please Help..!

How about using reg.exe instead of regedit.exe

Get-Command reg

CommandType Name Version Source
----------- ---- ------- ------
Application reg.exe 10.0.16... C:\Windows\system32\reg.exe

this worked for me fine:

reg import .\test.reg

I use

Invoke-Command {reg import \\server\share\test.reg *>&1 | Out-Null}
the last part

*>&1 | Out-Null
pipes the output to null so the console doesn't see it. I do not think this is required but it annoyed me.

You may be trying to run it with insufficient privileges. This snippet should work:

$startprocessParams = @{
FilePath = "$Env:SystemRoot\REGEDIT.exe"
ArgumentList = '/s', 'C:\file.reg'
Verb = 'RunAs'
PassThru = $true
Wait = $true
}
$proc = Start-Process @startprocessParams

if ($proc.ExitCode -eq 0) {
'Success!'
}
else {
"Fail! Exit code: $($Proc.ExitCode)"
}

Pause

This is what I use

> regedit /s "c:\file.reg"

You can use this :

Start-Process -filepath "$env:windir\regedit.exe" -Argumentlist @("/s", "`"C:\file.reg`"")
