you mentioned two registry paths and entries that appeared in your Regedit tool, but they don’t match what’s on your Windows 11 Home machine. I checked them against the current setup and found similar items on a Windows 10 Pro system. Before you proceed, I ran MalwareBytes and Windows Defender today, but no threats were detected. Now I’m curious—do others have these registry entries or folders? The path you described under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows Script includes several "Default (Value Not Set)" keys, and expanding it reveals a "Settings" folder with its own "Default (Value Not Set)" entry. Inside that, there’s a "Settings" subfolder containing another "Default (Value Not Set)" key. The Windows Script also has a "Settings" folder with a "JITDebug (0)" key of type REG_DWORD, and a "Settings" subfolder holding a "Default (Value Not Set)" and a "JScript Set Script State Started" key of type REG_QWORD with varying values. The Telemetry folder expands to show two more items: "msdt.exe" and "wmiprvse.exe," both marked with the Default key, plus a "JScript Set Script State Started" entry. These files were last modified on August 30th and September 1st of this year. Have you seen anything like these before?
