[QUOTE="bazang, post: 1119861, member: 114717"] Faronics Deep Freeze is no longer actively developed. It is a product that has been in limbo within what is known as "maintenance" for nearly 10 years. It receives no major or otherwise significant updates except one or two problem-fixes every few years. I see over at Wilders and elsewhere listing the latest update as June, 2024. If one would actually bother to read the release notes one would see a list of about 100 known issues that Faronics is never going to fix. It is not going to fix anything with Deep Freeze because it is yet another security software that was sunset and now has no dedicated development or support team. The original project members left Faronics years ago. Faronics marketing states that it has sold over 10,000,000 licenses and yet Deep Freeze was moved to maintenance years and years ago. The only time a software publisher moves any product to maintenance is when it is no longer profitable enough and is not being developed any further. People in userland and their delusions created by their fanbois and fangirlz syndrome over at Wilders. When it comes to Shadow Defender, it is even worse. The sdmod and other SD fanbois and fanqirlz blame Microsoft for changing Windows such that (abandonware) Shadow Defender devotees have to disable Fast Startup, Core Isolation, Memory Isolation, and make other changes in the BIOS so they can use Shadow Defender. sdmod claims Shadow Defender is optimally designed and programmed. It is not the problem. Microsoft making changes to Windows is the problem. Man. Tony, the developer is dead. He died during COVID. The people that put the Shadow Defender website back up are grifters that will keep taking fools' money as long as they can. Tony never maintained the Shadow Defender website. He paid a marketer to do it. [/QUOTE]
