[QUOTE="Marana, post: 1117481, member: 69370"] Thank you for your quick reply, [USER=32260]@Andy Ful[/USER] ! It is quite probable that I will migrate from Windows 10 to Windows 11 during the next few months. You seem to have developed WHHL to such a great tool that I will likely base my Application Control on it for my Windows 11 era. My current (homemade) Information Security App handles Application Control only by SRP, but it has a Taskbar icon displaying the SRP status in real time, and it also has a configurable timer to turn SRP back on automatically after a desired timeout. And I would like to have the same information easily and reliably available in the future, too. So, I'm currently studying on how to update the Application Control monitoring feature in my IS App so that it will handle also SmartScreen operating level and WDAC+IAC status in addition to the current SRP monitoring. I will probably also change the current "Reapply SRP automatically after a timeout period" feature to only give reminder messages to reapply the Application Control features after a timeout period. This way WHHL would do all the settings manipulation in the future. Windows 11 SmartScreen mode ("Warn" / "Block") is easy to lookup from the registry, but I did not find the same information for WDAC and IAC status. So that's why I asked my previous question. Indeed it seems that the existence of {A5EE6C14-B6AE-488C-8FC1-9CE316CC2461}.cip tells reliably if WDAC is ON or OFF. On the other hand, {B5A05DC3-0145-4D45-A1D9-81CF9ADC54A3}.cip seems to be created when WDAC is activated the first time, and after that it will stay there regardless of the current WDAC status. The IAC status on the other hand seems to be present in the registry [HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows Defender\SmartScreen]: ConfigureAppInstallControl and ConfigureAppInstallControlEnabled. So, I think that now I have all the pieces I need to update my own IS App to integrate seamlessly with WHHL. Many thanks to you, Andy! :)(y) [/QUOTE]
