yes, but note that if you use OSA, you don't need controlled folders.

I do not know if someone is encouraged to do it. a post of the configuration of those who use this program. I think it would be interesting. And we could also learn a lot of people (including me)
i checked 99% of the stuff, i left 3-4 options because they may hamper my other softs.

That is to say that you have everything marked. Which are the ones that you left. unmarked.

NVT ERP is interaction soft which make rules on alerts or manual if user change specifig settings
SOB is manual setup you need write your own rules and sob only inform you about action to this..... like in AppGuard.
However Sob is a bit diferent soft than ERP and you dont should say sob is better than ERP , because even with same rules work a bit different.
Visibly you don't know much about SOB....
ERP = block only exe
SOB = block exe, dll, drivers.
So if for you , SOB isn't better than ERP...

You said what is better not me i said you dont should compare this soft because work different...
SOB is basiaclly ERP without a GUI and more stuff monitored, the rules syntax are probably similar, even OSA "borrowed" SOB syntax.
And i say it again SOB is better than ERP , it is a fact. SOB block more stuff, so it is better , simple as that. (i talk about protection, not color or GUI or user-friendliness)
a raincoat is better against the rain than a hat...

What a stupid argumentation style
most internet security software also have most modules to cover "everything" you think they are do/have better HIPS cover than Comod or another standalone software which use HIPS because they don't use other module to cover other layers......
ERP give more workplace about blocking exe fles and monitor thier action
SOB have more function however work blocking exe path and monitoring is less adjustment.

What are you talking about? i dont talk modules or suites, i talk about type of files monitored...learn to read.
Why do you think HIPS are powerful in advanced users hands? because they monitor more objects than anything else, so the user can block more stuff...
ERP can only block exes , so if the malicious file is not an exe, ERP is useless.
Many advanced attacks uses dlls and drivers, fileless malware uses dlls, try block them with ERP LOL
If i block the parent exe to run, i dont have to adjust rules to block the child.
in SOB, you can create quite complex rules, and remember SOB was made during ERP v3 era, not v4.
i wait a modernized version of SOB.

With OSA is controlled folder access not needed? 
They do different things in default settings. OSA limits execution of (some) vulnarable processes and adds a (extensive) execution blacklist of common attack vectors, while Controlled folder access limits access to (some) user folders by allowing only (smartscreen cloud) whitelisted programs access to these folders.
When OSA is tweaked and allows only program execution in user space of some whitelisted vendors specific to the setup of that user than Controlled Folder Access is redundant (because local specific OSA whitelist is much more restrictive than cloud based whitelist of controlled folder access).
IMO better to keep information factual in your replies. Not every one seeking information or help has the knowledge of power users providing answers (@Umbra), so implicit opinions (like OSA makes CFA redundant) are ill advice when given unconditionally.

That the whole point.
if you install a 3rd party security soft, it means you don't fully trust/are satisfied by what the built-in security of the OS offers, from this it is a duty to learn what the 3rd party soft can do and use it to the best way possible to supplement what the OS offers.
Using a soft at default setting is already a mistake, default setting were made to avoid installation/usability issues. NO ONE should ever use default settings. If a user can't manage or have the will to learn the software he uses, in our case OSA, better for him to stick using what Win10 offers.
it is isn't ill advice, just the basic logic. With OSA, user dont need CFA , simple as that.
You don't need a bullet-proof vest when you stay in a tank.

Yes. It was reported on the other forum that OSA does not work right on many systems, after update to Win 10 1809.
I did a quick test, and it was broken, it was not blocking. But @Umbra reported that he did not experience issues.
Andreas said he will be issuing a new build in a few days.

@Windows_Security & @Umbra - you both make points which I can appreciate, especially as a less-advanced user.

I think Umbra does a clean install, not an update.
Maybe this is his opportunity to LOL us all...
