Serious Discussion WHHLight - simplified application control for Windows Home and Pro.

I am sorry, I am not very good in setting up things on my computer. If I download the WHHLight, what is the best settings to use to set up a home computer?

Recommended settings for WHHLight. Just turn these ON and keep defaults.

• SRP = ON
• SMARTSCREEN BLOCK = OFF
• WDAC = ON

but if you are not accustomed to WHHLight you can try first the setup with <WDAC> = OFF combined with Microsoft Defender's HIGH Protection Level and FirewallHardening (H_C Recommended settings). This is a strong setup.

H_C meaning Hard Configurator, also made by Andy Ful

 

[Andy Ful]

Yes. The "Recommended H_C" in FirewallHardening means that those settings were initially adjusted to the "Recommended Settings" in Hard_Configurator.

Andy has anything changed regarding WDAC (or maybe related to SAC) in recent windows updates?

I am unable to turn WDAC on, it is not even showing in the dropdown menu:

Can you see any alerts when running WHHLight?
WDAC is OFF when Smart App Control is enabled.

Yes, Smart App Control is enabled.
So this is why I have no option to enable WDAC...
Apologies for my stupid question in the first place
