BUG: [System.Windows.Forms.SystemInformation]::PrimaryMonitorSize returns display size inconsistently between PS and PS ISE
Reproducibility: always.
1) Set display scaling not at 100%
2) Start new PS and PS ISE sessions
3) Run:
Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Windows.Forms
4) Notice difference when running in PS ISE to PS standardPS ISE takes no notice of display scaling and reports screen resolution. PS does take notice of display scaling and reports virtual screen resolution, e.g. 1920x1080 for a 3840x2160 screen with 200% scaling.

Console applications with a file association start a new cmd window. This is unhelpful.
I have a simple win32 console application (example.exe) which just printf's all its arguments. In the windows registry I've set up a file association so that the file extension ".myfile" invokes "example.exe %1".
In a CMD window running .\example.exe file.myfile displays the output in the cmd window. (this is good)
In a CMD window running .\file.myfile invokes example.exe and displays the output in the cmd window. (this is good)In a Powershell window running .\example.exe file.myfile displays the output in the powershell window. (this is good)

ANSI escape code problem with Read-Host
When using an ANSI escape code as part of the Read-Host prompt within a script, it changes the default state.
Note: to test, paste the script block into the console (not ISE)
Compare:
$esc = [char]27
$bold = "$($esc)[1m" #sets text to bold
$norm = "$($esc)[0m" #reset
Read-host "Test Entry$($bold)test"
write-host "test"
write-host "$($norm)test"
write-host "test"To:
$esc = [char]27
$bold = "$($esc)[1m"
$norm = "$($esc)[0m"
write-host "Test Entry$($bold)test"
write-host "test"
write-host "$($norm)test"

Fix powershell Get-SecureUEFI to support the variable dbt.
Get-SecureBootUEFI used the wrong GUID (EFIGLOBALVARIABLE_GUID) so cause it can not get dbt.
In UEFI spec 2.8, define the EFIIMAGESECURITYDATABASE2(dbt) should use the EFIIMAGESECURITYDATABASE_GUID, so this is the power shell command issue, you can refer to UEFI spec 2.8 - 32.6.1 UEFI Image Variable GUID & Variable Name for detail.

UpdateServices Module - Request for UpdateReleaseDate
UpdateServices Module, cmdlet Get-WsusUpdate. This cmdlet does not allow filtering by updates' "ReleaseDate". It also does not return value of updates' "ReleaseDate". GUI tool (WSUS mmc) does show "Release Date" column when showing updates, and allows updates sorting by "Release Date". I would ask that UpdateServices Module includes "UpdateReleaseDate" both as input (filtering) value and output value. Thanx.
