Something I don't understand

[SifhX]

Hi,

I'm testing Shadow defender, but there is something I don't understand :

If I want to try out a software that ask me to reboot when its installed, when I reboot in shadow mode I see nothing, the program is not installed.

Am I doing something wrong or when the computer reboot all is erased ???

Thanks

Try the exclusion features and add folders/files to exclude so that they don't get wiped on restart.

OK I will try that, thanks

From what I know, while you in shadow mode, everything you did, like installing, saving file, or basicly anything, it will get wiped once you reboot. So basically when you install a software that need to reboot (while you in shadow mode) to complete the installation, it would fail, the system won't recognize it, think that never happen

You can play with the exclusion folder, or you can read great guide by @Umbra Polaris here (credits belongs to Umbra)

In short Shadow defender is just a system protection (Shadow Mode)...
the simplest way to have virtual moe (shadow Mode) without rebooting, not like eg Deep Freeze.
Usually used to test some software, games etc that not require rebooting
or restart..or you can setting option on exclusion (Folder,files,registry, commit etc) are not include in
Shadow mode (virtual)..if you don't like and stick to test some softwares.apps
that requires reboot/restart..better then choose VMware or Oracle product like Virtual Box.
I hope my explanation not make you confused...and wish to help you a lot. Enjoy..Shadow Defender.

What is Shadow Defender ?
Shadow Defender is an easy-to-use security solution (for Windows operating systems) that protects your PC/laptop real environment against malicious activities and unwanted changes.

Shadow Defender can run your system in a virtual environment called 'Shadow Mode'. 'Shadow Mode' redirects each system change to a virtual environment with no change to your real environment. If you experience malicious activities and/or unwanted changes, perform a reboot to restore your system back to its original state, as if nothing happened.

With Shadow Defender, you have the flexibility to specify which files and folders are permanently saved to the real environment. This ensures important files and folders are kept after a reboot.

If you want to make a maintenance-free computer, Shadow Defender will be your best choice.
