Added option to set/disable the “News & Interests” Windows 10 taskbar icon that just started popping up in a recent update. Tweaks > Taskbar tab > Set News & Interests The same feature was added to Tweaky v1.5.21 also just released.
This update fixes a bug causing Lockdown to not write additions to the Windows default list of executable file types, and as a result previous versions of Lockdown did not block a few scripting languages namely Powershell and Python. The list below shows what Windows considers an executable file type that is blocked by default (and by all versions of Lockdown): WSC VB URL SHS SCR REG PIF PCD OCX MST MSP MSI MSC MDE...
What is Lockdown? Lockdown is a preventative measure for use against malware/ransomware attacks, which blacklists the ENTIRE file system, and whitelisting must be applied to allow programs to run. Lockdown restricts not only executables, but DLLs and other code libraries as well. Changes in v1.1: Lockdown now remembers your customized whitelist/blacklist settings when enabling/disabling Lockdown through the user interface (does not apply to command line arguments.) Added import/export feature for whitelist/blacklists both in the UI...
Made a change to the way most custom apps will execute when launched from d7x, to prevent a bug from occurring in the custom app itself (under certain circumstances.) This is a required update, as some behavior has been noted with certain custom apps that is resolved by this update.
Fixed a bug causing d7x to report event log warnings instead of errors (when errors were present) since the last boot in the System Info tab > Alerts box. Malware Search Tool: Corrected a bug on the Registry Inspection tab when you right clicked certain registry values and selected either ‘SystemLookup.com Search’ or ‘Web Search (Value Name)’ it may actually search for the value from another registry entry in your results list instead. Added the...
Added a custom app option to use the Shell API when launching a custom app, and this is designed to fix some issues with errors from the custom app about either missing files or in the case of Windows Repair AIO, it thinking that it is running from a network path when it isn’t. Also the Windows Repair AIO custom apps were updated so that they don’t display this error. Sorry for the uneventful...
Doubled the threshold of the RAM upgrade alert for all versions of Windows. Windows 8.x/10 was doubled from 4GB to 8GB (meaning less than 8GB and the RAM upgrade alert is triggered.) Windows Vista/7 was doubled from 2GB to 4GB, and Windows XP (why do we still support this?) was doubled from 1GB to 2GB. The point being, RAM is cheap, even the older stuff at least should be plentiful. Fewer known services should trigger...
Fixed: d7x would re-download some custom apps regardless of whether or not the app was just downloaded, ignoring the custom app’s redownload settings. Fixed: d7x was not preventing web browsers from popping up during program uninstalls. This has been fixed so now a program uninstall won’t pop up or wait on a web browser window. As a result of the current configuration, you may (or may not) see a command console window flash briefly when...
New: Automatically send an email on session start after generating an info report, with configurable email templates. See Config > Session > Start Session > look to the bottom of the page. Improved: d7x Registry Search is now located under the ‘Registry‘ drop down, and now remembers your search history throughout the d7x session, so if you use the feature more than once in a session it will be remembered. Change: The d7x Run dialog...
Updated the Internal (drop down menu) > Manage Installed Updates (d7x/DISM) to display the KB# for that Windows update (when it can be found) in a separate column for easy readability, added a quick search option (use case scenario is for the KB#) to highlight the result if found, and added double-click on an item to retrieve package info. Now registry shortcuts created under the Registry drop down menu will launch like RegEdit (As TrustedInstaller)...
