When finding JLink serial numbers in Windows registry, a recursive search is performed below HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\USB to find PortName and ParentIdPrefix values. By default, the reg.exe command searches all registry types. However, we are only interested in string values (REG_SZ). Adding "/t REG_SZ" to the query command can improve query performance significantly in cases where the user has a lot of non-string entries in the registry.
