[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 840513, member: 32260"] Yes. Both FirewallHardening and ConfigureDefender settings are not visible in the main H_C window and they have to be configured in FirewallHardening and ConfigureDefender. So, if you will change some settings from the main H_C window or load any H_C profile, then only the settings visible in H_C will change - the FirewallHardenind and ConfigureDefender settings do not change. [B]To avoid the confusion the below information is displayed when installing/updating H_C:[/B] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ QUICK CONFIGURATION (after the fresh installation). [LIST=1] [*]Run Hard_Configurator and follow the instructions which are displayed on the first run. [*]It is recommended to allow Hard_Configurator making the System Restore Point, whitelisting the autoruns and applying Recommended Settings. The restore point can be skipped when the kind of rollback software was installed. [*]After those actions, Windows restart will be required. [*]If Windows Defender is primary real-time protection, then <ConfigureDefender> option in Hard_Configurator (left violet button) can be used to activate advanced Windows Defender settings. [*]The firewall hardening is also possible by using <FirewallHardening> option (right violet button). [*]Please read the help files to get info about Hard_Configurator options. Full information about the program and SRP can be accessed using <Documentation> button, available after pressing <General Help> button. [/LIST] It is recommended to visit hard-configurator.com website for detailed information. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [B]The information about it can be also displayed from H_C by pressing <General Help> button.[/B] [LIST=1] [*]The actual status of all restrictions is shown in 2 panels, on the left and the right side of GUI window. Please, do not forget to press <APPLY CHANGES> red button to finally apply the changes in the configuration settings. [*]Press <Recommended Settings> green button to recover Hard_Configurator default-deny protection. This will delete all previous settings except entries added by the user to the Whitelist (by path or by hash). You can adjust SRP settings when pressing buttons in the left panel, and non-SRP settings by pressing buttons in the right panel. [*]Press <ConfigureDefender> violet button to configure Windows Defender advanced settings. [*]Press <Firewall Hardening> to harden Windows Firewall, by preventing the Internet access to some Windows programs. [*]There are two 3-D buttons visible on the bottom of Main Menu Window: <Load Profile> and <Save Profile>, which can be used to load other hardcoded program settings, or save user favorite settings (except White List profiles and Designated File Types). [/LIST] __________________________________________________ Thanks for testing H_C. Please let me know if something is unclear or should be added there.:giggle:(y) [/QUOTE]
