Not commenting to debate you, I've lost already,
and you know I like VS.
Reading more about AppGuardSolo & short time current useage, I do understand it to be a global blocker based on policy. If an activity is outside a very defined policy (AG default eg) then it is blocked, and recorded in its Activity Log and Windows Event Log. AG markets this as a plus. On enterprise AG policy is locked down by IT admin, while the Solo user is the admin and wrong edit to policy could result in bad outcome. I think VS & AG both get the job done, VS is probably more user friendly. If my comment has errors, sorry, I'm going by what I see as long-time user of VS, and intermittent short time user of AG. (But I'm liking AG too at the home consumer price).
