How to retrieve windows registry keys and values using PowerShell?
To browse through the registry in PowerShell, we can use the Get-ChildItem command. For example to get all keys from the path HKLM:\Hardware we can use the below command.
Get-ChildItem HKLM:\HARDWARE
Or you can set the location and use the dir (get-ChildItem or ls) command to browse the path.
Example
PS C:\> Set-Location HKLM:\HARDWARE PS HKLM:\HARDWARE> dir
