This was one of Keith S. Garner’s (@keithga1) gifts to me before he parted ways on his new adventure. I asked him for a script to automatically pull the Hard Blocker from the compatdata XML file created during the Windows 10 compatibility scan. After I gave him my request, he hit me up on skype about 2 hours later and said he didn’t write a script, he wrote me a 1 liner. Keith knows how much I like 1 liners. Why? Task Sequences! If I don’t have to have content to accomplish a step, all the better! I’ve been known to build scripts on the fly using echo >> script.bat then running the script.bat file just so I don’t have to have content.
So what’s this magic 1 line of code? I’m getting to that.
