Pca App Launch

Data Type: pca_app_launch
Python Parser: Regexp

Description

Each row is an application launch recorded by the Windows Program Compatibility Assistant, with executable path and high-resolution launch time. Use it as execution evidence and correlate the path with Prefetch, Amcache, UserAssist, or filesystem records. Coverage and retention vary by Windows version, so absence does not exclude execution.
