AWS drs documentation change

Service: drs · 2026-04-19 · Documentation low

File: drs/latest/userguide/troubleshooting-agent-issues.md

Summary

Fixed multiple typos (e.g., 'cant' to 'can't', 'ran' to 'run') and updated troubleshooting guidance for AWS Secret Key pasting issues, recommending PowerShell over CMD to avoid improper key handling.

Security assessment

The changes are primarily grammatical corrections and clarity improvements. The update about using PowerShell to avoid AWS Secret Key pasting issues addresses a potential installation failure scenario but does not document a security vulnerability or new security feature; it's a usability recommendation.
