I just saw this and felt I should share it. I’m sure most people here wouldn’t fall for it but it can’t hurt to make sure 👍
Edit: I just wanted to add, I have no idea what this tried to copy. I’m using Firefox on Linux which is perhaps why it didn’t make it to my clipboard 🤷
Hot take, win+r should be disabled by default and have an option to enable. Probably 99% or more of users will never use the run dialogue
Disagree, mostly because half the time I WinR is when I’m trying to fix someone else’s PC, and getting to the settings is half the problem.
Linux does this better by defaulting to files not being executable, versus Windows needing the downloading software to apply a specific “downloaded file” flag to trigger a notice about potentially unsafe files.
You could make a lot of the commands available by default much less dangerous. Stuff like requiring using protected screens more (like UAC and ctrl+alt+del) for enabling the risky stuff.
Also, sandboxing by default would do even more to prevent the worst dangers.
