Advice Request Alternatives to Shadow Defender

[SumTingWong]

Do any of you guys have some good alternatives to Shadow Defender? I like Shadow Defender but I think the developer has abandoned this software because there is only 1 update in 2018 and no more update after that or any sign that this software and developer is alive.

How about Rollback RX?

Developer for SD comes and goes, seems like it doesn't affect the product though as it still works well.

@SumTingWong ...stay with SD....if we talk about LV apps you will not find a piece of software that is more stable, efficient and secure than SD. No matters how long we have the last build...as I know its protection is still unbreakable.

Second that.
I never had any issue with SD, runs smooth and reliable.
The lifetime lic is definitely worth the price.

I don't feel confidence using unsupported product. It probably has some vulnerabilities or exploits or bugs haven't fixed yet.

I still use SD and only had one problem. it would not startup after an insider build along time ago so I contacted the dev and within a week, he sent me a registry tweak that fixed the proble.
you can always try Deep Freeze. Deep Freeze Instant Restore Software for PC, Mac, & Servers

Yuo have to know that every application...even security...has vulnerabilities but sometimes we only don't know where. Years ago...probably somwhere on Wilders...one of user have said that SD is "the best piece of code ever created" and thru the 9-10 years of using it I'm stick to this statement. Of cource you can be affraid so it's your decision...allways.

The list time I tried Deep Freeze it wasn't bad at all. But I didn't like that you can't use "on demand" like Shadow Defender.

hey, you can take a look at these softwares. it may be way closer to shadow defender than rollback rx. rollback rx uses snapshots, shadow defender uses virtualisation.

I did a trick to replace SSD hardisk into another PC to save the hassle of installing all software again. Now the system restore is still on the SSD on which the original Win10 OS was and Windows image backup does not find other harddisks (while there are 2 HD), so ....

I am thinking to install Rolback RX home. What advices and experiences are forum members willing to share on Rollback RX home (free)?

If it were 15 years ago, I'd recommend Windows SteadyState, or 10 years ago for GesWall.

I am using the paid version for 3 years and never a problem, never needed tech support. It does what it advertises and does it well. I take snapshots all the time and revert to any previous time with ease. I´m pretty sure the Home version will work just as well.

Shadow Defender and products like it do not often receive updates except for perhaps 1 or 2 every couple of years. On top of that, none of the developers are going to spend the time nor money chasing down vulnerabilities as this class of product is niche with tiny user bases.

You are not going to find any product in this class that you will find acceptable.
