Tip: make ClickFix harder by blocking execution from user-writable folders and watching what the Run dialog launches
- On Windows, a GPO can remove the Run dialog for standard users, and WDAC or AppLocker rules can deny execution from %LOCALAPPDATA%\Temp and %PROGRAMDATA% subfolders that aren't on an allowlist.
- Pair the controls with an easy report path so users who did paste something tell IT fast.
