Running this in the native windows Powershell ISE works:

powershell Get-ItemProperty -Path 'hklm:software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\DeliveryOptimization\Config' -Name "DODownloadMode"

DODownloadMode : 3
PSPath : Microsoft.PowerShell.Core\Registry::HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\DeliveryOptimization\Conf
ig
PSParentPath : Microsoft.PowerShell.Core\Registry::HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\DeliveryOptimization
PSChildName : Config
PSDrive : HKLM
PSProvider : Microsoft.PowerShell.Core\Registry

---

When trying to run in the screenconnect commands toolbox:

powershell Get-ItemProperty -Path 'hklm:software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\DeliveryOptimization\Config' -Name "DODownloadMode"

I get the error:
C:\Windows\system32>powershell Get-ItemProperty -Path 'hklm:software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\DeliveryOptimization\Config' -Name "DODownloadMode"
Get-ItemProperty : Cannot find path
'HKLM:\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\DeliveryOptimization\Config'
because it does not exist.

I'm thinking it's not formatting the text strings with \'s properly?

Thx,

This is the registry key in all Windows 10 that changes Start Menu | Settings | Update and Security | Windows Update | Advanced Options | Choose how updates are delivered. 0 is off. 1 is "PCs on my local network" and 3 is "PCs on my local network, and PCs on the Internet"

I just tried it on 5 different win10 machines, all the same error. Note that the powershell command runs fine on the one machine when you run it from the console inside the native windows powershell ISE environment. On that same machine using the screenconnect "Command" function it fails, so something in screenconnect is changing the command?

Screenconnect 5.6.10870.6001

Thx David

It's probably because ScreenConnect runs the 32 bit version of powershell which reads/write values under the WOW6432Node part of the Windows registry.

If you want to run the 64 bit version of powershell use the following:
c:\windows\sysnative\windowspowershell\v1.0\powershell.exe

Example:
c:\windows\sysnative\windowspowershell\v1.0\powershell.exe -command "Get-ItemProperty -Path 'hklm:software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\DeliveryOptimization\Config' -Name 'DODownloadMode'"

(Note: Be sure to use single quotes inside of the powershell command.
