Unfortunately, I have seen that before with DefenderUI and VoodooShield.

NPE sees a lot of 'malicious' files!

I ran PE recently... 5 out of 5 detections were false positives including Dnscrypt, 0patch, and MAE

@danb What does the "File Hash Computation" function do? Also, what happens if you put "Cloud check timeout" to 60sec? Does it improve detection?

@danb
Could you elaborate a little regarding Edge becoming 'Managed' after installing DefenderUI, in addition, is clearing the 'Managed' notification by way of reg file etc detrimental to the protection DefUI provides? Thanks.

@danb ... what happens if you put "Cloud check timeout" to 60sec? Does it improve detection?

No. It simply extends the interval for the cloud check which might help in a particular instance, i.e. to check xxx.file, but in no way can be construed to improve detection generally.

Free at the moment, will probably become paid someday:

It's going to be a while before we start to charge for DefenderUI Pro, but yeah, if we do charge for it there will be a lifetime license option. Thank you!

Are you talking about manual or automatic signature updates? Have you tried this? Troubleshoot Definition update issues for Microsoft Defender in Windows 11/10 Thank you! The manual CMD way is all I use now. The issue hit me with an OS update a few months ago. The CMD method works every...

Do not worry. It's about disabling startup boost in Edge. Sandboxie does the same to work correctly.

I had already disabled start-up boost prior to installing DefUI and clearing the managed browser notification doesn't appear to have had any ill effect, just being picky and prefer my browser unmanaged.

Is start-up boost a security risk because Edge will be loaded before the OS itself has been fully loaded?

Edit: What I mean is that Edge starts earlier than third party security programs.

Hi,
Is it possible to change an option so that control in Defender is no longer done on non-compatibility drivers to turn on Memory integrity ??

 

[ODHSNM]

Yes, this appears the risk and reason for blocking start-up boost.
I did have a short email from @danb that provided a little more info, but committed the school boy error of clearing my spam folder and inadvertently deleted said email in the process. No doubt @danb will comment when he gets time.

Didn't follow the thread lately so allow me a short question. Are both versions, DefenderUI and DefenderUI Pro updating automatically to the latest version when an update is available?

Hi yes my DUIPro has been auto updating, it doesnt prompt or ask, you will just see a UAC prompt and the installer starts (currently 1.08 here)

Would like to see an optional "check for updates" or "an update is available"

Even if you disabled the startup boost, it happened with some Edge updates to activate itself!

 

[ODHSNM]

some Edge updates to activate itself!

Personally I take a couple of minutes going through Edge settings after an update to see if anything else has crept in unannounced let alone start-up re-enabling itself

I just installed DefenderUI for the first time earlier this week, and mine is still at version 1.07; and I am also wondering will it automatically update.

If so, then I can recommend DefenderUI over ConfigureDefender, because I need something that I can recommend to people that they can install, set, and forget without having to worry about remembering to find updated of GitHub et cetera.

It does, when it wants to install the update it will just prompt the UAC window to ask for permission. Other than that, it sits nicely in the icon tray. If you're using the non-pro version, like myself, then v1.07 is currently the latest version up for grabs.
