ClickFix mitigations, again, still

Reposting this here since it’s been a minute, but it’s definitely still relevant. New Clickfix variants are moving on to Win+X instead of Win+R.

As @BadSamurai would say, the ideal is a “low regret” mitigation. The recommendation here fits that requirement.

Basically, Microsoft’s recommended action is too high-impact for most orgs, but there’s another way.

Read your article on ClickFix mitigations, Taggart… Man, I sure hate to disable Win+R/Win+X, though…

Use PowerToys for power users. If the IT nerds are the only ones who will miss it, that’s a low regret mitigation IMO.
