I’ll post the first prompt…

I saw this article in the news about Meta https://www.reuters.com/sustainability/boards-policy-regulation/meta-start-capturing-employee-mouse-movements-keystrokes-ai-training-data-2026-04-21/ so I used this prompt: “Use the AppControl MCP tools to look at all executables that have run on my PC, and cross reference them against any known employee monitoring apps.

Prompt: What apps that are currently auto-starting with Windows on my computer should I remove from auto-starting in order to speed up Windows and only start them when I need them.

About the yellow highlighting - I added these in an update I gave in a presentation on AppControl for points I had verbal comments for

I think most users of UniGetUI really want it running on Windows Startup.

When I complained to Claude that I could not find Windows Widgets in Startup (I even tried Mark Russinovich’s excellent AutoRuns),

So in the end, I found that Claude made some mistakes, but the integration of AppControl and Claude surfaced a lot of useful information.

Yes, I find in general all these LLMs make major mistakes almost constantly, to a degree that it’s disturbing. One strategy to fight that is to send them to a specific data source to check again. For example you could say “Look at best practices for hardening Windows according to the X PDF (or X website) and then cross reference that with my PC, and recommend changes I can make to secure my PC better.”

Without sending the LLM to check a specific data source I think a lot of the time it will just make stuff up that isn’t useful.

At one point when I was using it, it was repeatedly suggesting I turn off Windows Security/Defender, which I found disappointing. I am referring to Claude.
