On a Windows Server with GUI, you can use the traditional method of setting the display resolution but as there's no Control Panel nor Settings app on Windows Server Core, the only way is through Powershell with the Set-DisplayResolution cmdlet.

Set-DisplayResolution -Width 1024 -Height 768

The cmdlet above sets the resolution to 1024x768. It will prompt you to accept the change, if you don't want that, append -Force parameter.

To get the current display resolution, you can use the Get-DisplayResolution cmdlet.

You can easily trigger SCSI UNMAP in Windows via PowerShell:

Optimize-Volume -DriveLetter C -ReTrim -Verbose

Completely hiding Quick Access from the navigation tree in File Explorer can be achieved via the registry:

1. In the registry, navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer
2. Create a DWORD 32-bit value named HubMode and set its value to 1.

You may need to re-logon for the changes to take effect. You can also use group policies to apply this setting in a domain.
