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

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?

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)!! 😱

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?

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

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?

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

What's the current thinking/consensus/experience of having duplicate machine SIDs on the same subnet & members of the same domain (different hostnames & MAC & IP addresses obviously)? It's many years since @markrussinovich.bsky.social said changing SIDs wasn't necessary but what about RoW?

Any of you got experiences of packaging Adobe or AutoCAD apps into MSIX and delivering via App Attach? About to have a play myself but interested to know if others have tried. I think going App-V is probably not a sensible approach given its life expectancy.

Need to turn %USERDNSDOMAIN% into canonical form, eg for ADSI ? "DC=$(($env:USERDNSDOMAIN -split '\.') -join ',DC=')"
