Hard_Configurator - Windows Hardening Configurator

Isn't MS Office and Adobe antiexploit already included in MS Windows Defender?

So there is useful to enable "ExploitProtection" twice and in H_C and in WD ?

Hello !

When I block Office in FirewallHardening, this is different than that (AntiExploit) ?

It is different.

And what about telemetry ?

Which telemetry?

It is different.


Which telemetry?

With O&O ShutUp10 there is telemtry for MS Office. If I blocks into FirewallHardining, there is different than telemetry ?

It is, but it is not the same.

The Exploit Protection from tour post (Hard_Configurator - Windows Hardening Configurator) works independently from Microsoft Defender. It is focused on in-memory exploits of applications and processes. You can try it, but such tweaks are not easy to apply.

So both applied it is ok?

I do not know. I do not use O&O ShutUp. Furthermore, FIrewallHardening is not for blocking MS Office telemetry. If it blocks it, then only as a side effect.

That depends. It is OK when the computer is still usable.

Can H_C make the registry return to its original state after a reboot?

Because Copilot I set to “1” but it returns to “0” on reboot.
I'm using a Microsoft account to log in...

Thanks

I don't think H_C have any configuration related to Copilot, what is the problem with Copilot? You can remove it if you don't like it.

 

[dronefox1166]

Thank you.

No, on the contrary I want to keep Copilot and have it at startup...

 

[dronefox1166]

Sorry @Andy Ful, I don't mean to accuse you, because this tool is great (H_C).

I just don't want to overload the post.

I would like to translate all the tool documentation into French.

If not, I'd check out Malekal's article on his site.

You can enable it from taskbar settings, why go to registry?

 

[dronefox1166]

in taskbar setting, it doesn't appear in the past. That's the reason why I pass through the registry.

Right now, there is possible to enable it in the taskbar settings...

No.
I am afraid that H_C cannot be responsible (by design) for all issues on your computer.
But you know the general method to check potential H_C blocks:

1. Look into the H_C log.
2. Look into FirewallHardening Log.

or temporarily :

• switch OFF H_C restrictions,
• deactivate FirewallHardening rules,
• apply Default settings in ConfigureDefender,
• restart WIndows.

Ok now I understand what you mean, you can create a registry file to reset the Copilot value after you restart the system rather than changing it manually.

OK.

No.

that's why I apologize below.

Sorry again !

I don't think I've mastered Windows and some of the tools I install. So from now on I'll be more vigilant.

 

[dronefox1166]

I found all documentation there : Hard_Configurator/Documentation at master · AndyFul/Hard_Configurator

The best method is to avoid installing several tools in a short time. Choose the main protection and test it until you know how your system works with it. Next, after a month or more you can install another tool.
