Note: this fails the same way from cmd.

regedit /e --- Exports the entire registry to a file. You can modify this command to add a filename and specific location on the drive, such as regedit /e c:\AllRegistryEntries.reg. You can export a specific key with the following example command regedit /e keybackup.reg HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Edge.

You cannot use con: as the output file apparently.
