[QUOTE="SpyNetGirl, post: 1029524, member: 98858"] [B] Everything is explained in the Microsoft documents.[/B] I clearly mentioned the target users for this, it's not for the average home user to quickly do something. You need to have read everything and understand what you are doing. That "brick" you are talking about is the exact same thing that prevents unauthorized people from accessing your computer and saves you. Home use? my post above says: [B]Target users range from Enterprises, Highly-Secure Servers and Data Centers, Highly-Secure Workstations and such.[/B] Cryptographically signing the WDAC policy makes it tamper-proof. I use it at home because I've read how to disable it, update it and so on so I won't brick my computer, but I don't recommend it to home users (i.e. people looking for a quick button to secure everything), for home users my hardening script is the best one. [URL unfurl="true"]https://github.com/HotCakeX/Harden-Windows-Security[/URL] Also in all of my guides I always use AllowMicrosoft default policy which takes care of allowing everything Microsoft including Windows. So there is no chance of boot failure, unless your hardware has problems? You need to be specific and tell me about a specific case because I haven't seen boot failure when using AllowMicrosoft policy. Thanks, do you mean after collecting the audit logs and creating the WDAC policy from them, you want to remove some of the rules? [/QUOTE]
