Did you know that when you've pressed Alt + tab on Windows 11, you can then use the cursor keys to move quicker, eg down, to the tab you want whilst still pressing Alt & release Alt?
Similarly, press Windows + Tab & use cursor keys to navigate around & select via window thumbnail then press Enter

Also helps when you want to reverse the chronological order but the dates aren't (yet) in a datetime time, eg returned as text so would need casting/converting to datetime to be able to sort correctly in PowerShell

Got a #PowerShell array of objects with already sorted timestamps where you want to reverse the order? Eg I got logs from @Googlecloud but was most recent 1st & I wanted oldest first & rather than sort on the datestamp, I just reversed the array with

[array]::Reverse( $yourArray )

Is #dedup for NTFS on Server 2025 supported by
#Microsoft for #FSlogix or not?

Most AI says not but fails to give a definitive reference.

Was enabled & working on a system I inherited BUT there was also corruption on that volume.

Surely should be ok as a file system feature invisible to FSlogix?

So sorry to hear that, I hope things improve

Don't have too many windows open at once, it'll crash😃

Well this is something that I have never seen before today in #PowerShell 5.1 & the lines causing it have been in my $profile for years. PowerShell.exe date is today - this could break a lot of scripts (as in cause them to pause f input)!! 😱

Recently bought the T-shirt. No, I'm not quite sure why either. It's not sound enabled though

You can't read that? You need the Microsoft error lookup tool! Although some of us carry it around in our heads which is why we forget why we've walked into a room😂

Where's the fun in that?

Anyone found a way to toggle the Do Not Disturb Notification setting in Windows 11? Found some stuff around setting registry values which didn't pan out & other stuff that P/Invoked WNF APIs but that failed too. Tried what I found in procmon but failed. Surely it must be possible?

You don't use AI day to day?

It definitely won't if you don't ask it

Asked Copilot?

I sense a disturbance in the force, sorry internet. Trying to tweet this on X fails 🙁

Might not be realistic in our scenario where sessions often are less than 1 hour. We also provider Google Drive, which provides a separate G: drive and that does not seem to suffer the same issue but my drive there has much less in it.

I have 200+K files in mine so maybe I'm being unrealistic

EUC folks with non-persistent desktops but using something like #FSlogix have you found a way to stop @OneDrive from taking ages (>50 minutes) to drop the (dehydrated) place holders into a new profile? Our sessions are generally <1 hour so cutting it fine + what if user needs a "late" file?

Do you think i was Bourne yesterday? Very Korny, I hope someone doesn't bash your post

Tres bon

Yes and for languages I've never coded in like Go and Javascript

Here's a typical use case for me using -Outvariable in an interactive PowerShell command line where I'm searching for a file so I want visual output as it searches but I also want the results in a variable so I can access more properties later if I need them without searching again

Note that the default in secpol.msc says "Not Configured" but it's on by default so enable auditing but don't enable Success. I don't believe that these events are useful - they cause log overwrite of ones that are like process creation & termination
