Does anyone know Shadow Defender still supported and developed or the current developer abandoned Shadow Defender product? Last update was 2020.

I found this on Wilders Security but it's almost 1 year old. Disabling Core Isolation/Memory Integrity is a possibility to check.

It appears the last update was 3 years ago and one wonders if the developer still plans active maintenance. The more time that passes, the greater the urgency of the question.

It's always had a spotty development cycle in terms of timing. But 3 years is alot. Even for Comodo

I use the 2018 version (v.680) and it works flawlessly. Every year there's a topic about SD's development xD.

It works flawlessly on Windows 10 and 11. No issues here running it on 2 different OS. If ain't broken why repair?

For me when I enable shadow mode I can no longer boot into windows. BSOD galore.

Windows 11 latest updates.

So SD has been off my system for years.

Melih and Tony’s eyes met on New Year’s Eve 2021, and something electric passed between them. What happened next is a mystery, but Comodo and Shadow Defender updates stopped!

Comodo and Shadow Defender both suffer from Long COVID

Just an update, Shadow defender does work fine with Windows 11 latest build as of May 2024 you just need to disable Core isolation from Windows security Centre. I would recommend doing so before installing Shadow defender if not you will get the Bsod and windows crash.

Also create restore points before and after shadow defender installation, or image your os with reflect.

FYI, Shadow Defender's homepage seems online again after the homepage been down... since a few weeks.
Just downloading the latest published version 1.5.0.726, I might need it for some reason in the future
