SimpleWindowsHardening is now a default setup of WHHLight.
SimpleWindowsHardening = WHHLight with < SWH > = ON ( < SmartScreen BlockMode > = OFF and < WDAC > = OFF ).
So, that means that Simple Windows Hardening is now depreciated?

I miss it's flexibility to adjust different settings compared to the SWH part of WHHLight:

But maybe Hard_Configurator is more suited for people that want to adjust those settings.

SImpleWindowsHardening is still an interesting project, so I have not decided yet what to do. It is still fully functional and can be used as a replacement for WHHLight.

I went back to SWH on Windows 10 because I like those extra settings, esp. the ability to prevent unsigned exe's from running as admin.
