Hi @Securityinbits,

Thanks for the PR.

The logic looks okay, i have only suggested some metadata changes. Please apply the changes while also fixing the failing pipeline. And if you don't know it already we recently introduced regression testing for our detection rules, and we rely on EVTX files to validate that rules correctly trigger on expected events. Thus, it would also be nice if you could provide us the EVTX file as well.

Thank you @swachchhanda000 for the review and suggestions.

I was not aware of the EVTX file requirement. I will generate the Sysmon EVTX file and upload it here.

There shouldn't be any false positives that still use print.exe, right?
