Nope. We’ll make sure to update this thread when there is. In the meantime, might I recommend the Subscribe button? That way you’ll be notified of any updates to this thread, without needlessly pinging everyone on this thread ☺️

Not necessarily “exactly,” as I have one fewer S-1-15-3 entry than you do on my fairly clean install. 😄

If you see anything other than S-1-5-80 or S-1-15-3, however, that is a big red flag.
