the reset option.</li>
|

<li>Fixed an issue where Powershell code to launch IAS may not work due

to GitHub block in some regions. It will use the new <a

Powershell.</li>

<li>The script will now disable quick edit mode temporarily because
|

users often click inside the script window and it pauses the
|
||||
script.</li>
|

<li>The script will back up the CLSISD registry keys before performing

operations on them.</li>
