[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 1052718, member: 32260"] Please post comments, especially when the help files require corrections. After possible corrections, I will publish the application on the GitHUB. It can take a few days because it requires whitelisting by AV vendors. (y) :) As can be seen from the OP, this application uses SRP for scripts and unsafe files (like SimpleWindowsHardening). For PE files (EXE, DLL, etc.) it uses WDAC. The user can whitelist folders if it is necessary. Adding support for WDAC on Windows Home can make AVs nervous. Microsoft Defender triggered 3 different detections for that, but after submission as a false positive, the application was whitelisted. Also, Avast added the application to the whitelist. I am waiting for Norton (Symantec) and Bitdefender. When < SWH > and < WDAC > switches are ON, the restrictions are similar to the H_C Windows_10_Recommended_Enhanced settings, but additionally, the DLLs are blocked. When the %ProgramData%, %LocalAppData, and user AppData folders are removed from the WDAC Whitelist, the restrictions are similar to the H_C Windows_10_Strict_Recommended_Enhanced settings, but additionally, the DLLs are blocked.
