Random stuff:

a) How to manually clear Windows Defender Protection History in Windows 10
win+e -> View -> Hidden items = ON.
Goto C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows Defender\Scans\History & delete Service folder. Done.

b) If Hidden items = ON , you might notice a hidden folder $WinREAgent with subfolder Scratch on Windows 10's Local Disk C
$WinREAgent is created during Windows Update and contains temporary files. It's safe to delete it (but don't bother).

c) You might also notice hidden msdownld.tmp on Disk D or E, you can delete it if want. It'll resurrect itself anyway lol

New trick :D

Pressing WIN+SHIFT+S lets you copy any section of the screen to the clipboard
Thanks for that, didn't know this even existed. I've been messing with Prtscn+Paint for far too long!

Edit: Yeah, this is also good for replacing alt+Prtscn, however is it possible to cancel the selection? I couldn't find any info on that. Also the Prtscn key can be used to open the snip tool under Ease of Access Keyboard Settings > Print Screen Shortcut.

Run this command in PowerShell to get the version of your .Net Framework

Code:
Get-ChildItem 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP' -Recurse | Get-ItemProperty -Name version -EA 0 | Where { $_.PSChildName -Match '^(?!S)\p{L}'} | Select PSChildName, version

It's not that simple, you need to calculate hashes.

Win + x is very convenient.
