Why do you need Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool on top of WD, also why allow runonce ?

Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool is auto-installed by W10. It can be removed by the user if they wish. I just leave it. And I've never used it. I listed it only because of the Virus and Malware Removal Tools field above.

runonce.exe must be allowed to run on systems that have an application that uses runonce to launch its interface, such as DropBox. If runonce.exe is blocked, then the DropBox tray icon\user interface will not launch.

Do you feel this setup usable?
I prepared H_C max settings for unsafe or vulnerable environment. :unsure:
For most MT members the H_C Recommended Settings, or predefined profile Windows_10_MT_Windows_Security_hardening, will be well balanced between security and usability. (y)

I have zero problems using maximum settings. Like none. Like, ever-ever.

NVidia drivers install no problem.
Windows Updates install no problem.
Drivers via Windows Updates install no problems.
MSEdge.exe dev updates install no problem.

If I need to use something that is blocked by SRP, then I know how to launch it using Admin privileges. No problems.

I use this PC. I do "stuff" on it. I don't have problems with it. If I had to install an IDE such as PyCharm, then I would have to whitelist a few processes by file path located in the User Profile directories because SRP would block them. To update PyCharm, I might have to run it with Admin privileges. So what. No big deal. Easy. No problems.

Privazer uses wmic.exe, reg.exe, netsh.exe, and others. It runs as Admin automatically in the Admin account. No problems.

For me, using SRP is ezpz. I don't get why others do not understand SRP. SRP is allow-block and ON-OFF. Like, there is next to nothing to learn. It is as simple as getting into the bathtub and splashing water to make bubbles.

Problem ? So what ? Problem is no problem. Find out what is blocked and then allow it. LOL, what is so difficult about that ? Not every allow-block decision has the potential outcome of nuclear war or peace. Most are just really common sense decisions within the context of what is happening on the system.

If you can read, and ride a tricycle, then you can use SRP, even at maximum settings.

ezpz :ROFLMAO:

Believe me, you are the rare exception.:giggle:

That's a real bummer. But whatever, those that can't will find a way with something else. Or, errr, let's hope they do. :emoji_pray:

I don't get it. So many people know how to ride bicycles. So lots of people should be able to handle SRP. What'd they do, skip the tricycle ? Missed all that tricycle knowledge ?

Lots of people could use SRP (especially via H_C) but simply do not like default-deny setup.:giggle:
Default-deny is for aliens not for humans.:alien:

SRP has no marketing. Get Hawaiin Tropic girls and football stars to market it and things will change. All your neighbors will use SRP in no time at all.
