I found this on Wilders Security but it's almost 1 year old. Disabling Core Isolation/Memory Integrity is a possibility to check.


Something a bit later (June 2023)

Does anyone know Shadow Defender still supported and developed or the current developer abandoned Shadow Defender product? Last update was 2020.
It appears the last update was 3 years ago and one wonders if the developer still plans active maintenance. The more time that passes, the greater the urgency of the question.

Just an update, Shadow defender does work fine with Windows 11 latest build as of May 2024 you just need to disable Core isolation from Windows security Centre. I would recommend doing so before installing Shadow defender if not you will get the Bsod and windows crash.

Also create restore points before and after shadow defender installation, or image your os with reflect.

FYI, Shadow Defender's homepage seems online again after the homepage been down... since a few weeks.
Just downloading the latest published version 1.5.0.726, I might need it for some reason in the future ;)

Actually it gave me bsod's too, it worked well for me for years but about 2 years ago the bsod's started. Not right away but maybe after 4 or 5 days after I installed it. So now when I want to use it I just install it, do whatever and then uninstall it.
