so I'm curious as to where you read that he died?
I took it to mean that the developer's website or the Shadow Defender website is dead, not the actual person.

You probably must misclicked the emoji then. It happens to all of us.I didn't see anything funny about your post.
I didn't suggest that. In fact, I am still using the abandoned Macrium Reflect Free for the very same reason. But one day probably we would have to migrate to another solution (like Hasleo) or to buy a license for the Home version. Since I guess they will no longer support the upcoming versions of Windows like 24H2 and up.but imho it is silly for existing SD users to consider abandoning its use as long as it still works properly with all Windows versions (which it does)
Your having trouble with Shadow Defender, Deep Freeze and Restore RX, maybe its your system and not the software as I don't see anyone else here having issues. Do you tweak your OS?View attachment 285659
Okay I'll just give a sad note.
1. Shadow defender (even to version 1.5.0.726) is NO longer working in Windows 11 24H2. If you're upgrading from Windows 11 23H2 or any previous version of Windows, you will be ask to uninstall Shadow Defender first before proceeding to update.
2. If you want a virtualization that able to restore everything on every reboot. I suggest to upgrade your Windows 11 to Enterprise Edition, to use Unified Write Filter or UWF.
3. What about other software. Deep Freeze Standard cause infinitive boot loop in Windows 11 24H2. Reboot Restore RX Pro. uninstalling this software leave me with a very deep trumatic experience as It cause my system to crash badly, and lots of repair work.
It was my first thought too. But indeed, SD does not work on Windows 11 24H2 in my Virtual Machine.Your having trouble with Shadow Defender, Deep Freeze and Restore RX, maybe its your system and not the software as I don't see anyone else here having issues. Do you tweak your OS?
Thanks for checking.It was my first thought too. But indeed, SD does not work on Windows 11 24H2 in my Virtual Machine.
This will cause much outrage, trashing the developer, laments of "How can they do this to users?," misinformation, speculation, blowing it way out of proportion.It was my first thought too. But indeed, SD does not work on Windows 11 24H2 in my Virtual Machine.
Clean install of Microsoft Windows, Shadow Defender installer is blocked. I tried everything and it failed to install.
No, I do not tweak my OS.Your having trouble with Shadow Defender, Deep Freeze and Restore RX, maybe its your system and not the software as I don't see anyone else here having issues. Do you tweak your OS?
Back in Windows 11 23H2, while using Shadow Defender I often get a drive C: error. Despite the error, the OS runs smoothly, and the error appears at random occasion. So I still continue to use SD.I used the Compatibility Administrator tool (from Microsoft Application Compatibility Toolkit) to see the details related to Shadow Defender and found a simple method to install Shadow Defender on Windows 24H2. This method does not mess with apphelp.dll.

- Use 7-Zip to unpack the installer SD1.5.0.726_Setup.exe
- Use 7-Zip to unpack the embedded installer Setup_x64.exe
- Open the unpacked folder and rename the file setup.exe.
- Run the renamed file.
Please note: Running Shadow Defender on Windows 24H2 is not recommended, even if it works so far.
In another forum, they published that they have been updated to Windows 11 24H2 from an earlier version, using Rufus v4.6 Beta. Maintaining the installation of Shadow Defender the previous version. The Windows installer does not show warnings of Shadow Defender's incompatibility. The upgrade was successful.No, I do not tweak my OS.
In Windows 11 23H2, all those software runs without problem, but in Windows 24H2, it is a problem. You do not see anyone here has a problem because Windows 11 24H2, just rolled out, and none here apply the update immediately.

I clarify, I only share the information; I have not had time to check it.
It is incredible that SD still works without updates, despite so many changes in OS.There are no equivalent replacements that work as well and as reliably as SD does\did.
