Unsure if most people are aware of this, I wasnt. There is a "hidden" tool in WIndows 10 called Microsoft Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool.
Windows+R to run mrt and it will load the tool. I had a convo to ChatGPT about this morning over a coffee.

No snark is intended, but if you ever look at your Windows Update History, Other Updates:

You should see a stream of them. I don't recall which notification setting it is that I have on that causes it, but I get notified when the latest MSRT has been downloaded and will be run automatically.

The above is from Windows 11, but even a couple of those updates you see were from when the computer was still running Windows 10, and the presentation under Windows 10 settings is very, very similar.

Nice hook job. I know if you'd been serious you would have said "this morning over beerz"
 
@Markverhyden this chat ai thing, reddit, 4chan and the bitcoin are all things I don't want to know about 🤣
Reddit is just a glorified forum. It’s really kinda old school compared to Facebook, Instagram, or discord. It’s just there are subreddits for ANYTHING. Birdwatching, hiking, porn, politics, whatever town you live in, tech support for any OS or program on the planet. (You’d make bank hawking your services in the r/outlook and r/Office365 subreddits.)
