[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 617368, member: 32260"] [B]Important info for users upgrading to Windows 10 Creators Update (compilation 15063.13).[/B] [COLOR=#000000]Due to integration with Windows Defender, Microsoft made some important changes in the SmartScreen Application Reputation. So, the Hard_Configurator setting <Run As SmartScreen>='Administrator', fails to force SmartScreen for all files - it works just as the standard 'Run as administrator'. I have to make some tests to figure out if the previous functionality of this setting could be recovered in the Windows 10 Creators version.
