DTLreg, to learn some about the Registry...

LATE BREAKING NEWS
DTLreg is available now:
For those of you who noticed, the registry most likely changed between the two passes.
DTLreg first performs a complete inventory to count the number of keys, then starts the entire traversal again to read the values. In the meantime, Windows, Defender, a service, Chrome, or any other application may create or delete a key. The program does not work from a frozen Registry snapshot: it reads a live, constantly changing object.
So in this case:
Inventory: 1,411,508
Analysis: 1,411,509
one key was most likely created after the inventory pass and was then encountered during the analysis pass.
