Need a quick Analyses to tell me if Visual Studio Enterprise 2017, 2019 or 2022 is open on a users computer. Appreciate any help.

Thanks,

How would you locate it outside BigFix? Is there a running process or a registry record that is created each time a user uses it?

However, after a quick Google search, I discovered the link below, where someone was discussing about its running process.

On the basis of above discussion, you can look for the process “devenv.exe” and determine whether or not a user is currently running it.

exists logged on user AND exists running application whose (name of it is "devenv.exe")
