hello @DavidXanatos , 1st of all: thank you for this really good piece of software. It is the most easy to use frontend for Windows Filtering Platform i've ever seen is privatewin10 need to be launched with administrator rights ? or it have rights after installation of service (and normal double-click)? or no need at all ? sorry for my un-experimented question best regards, bounty
Does this act like Binisoft Windows Firewall Control, but with a bunch of extra features as well? Just curious if I can ditch that program for this. Looks amazing!
Can anybody help, what method did this tool disabled the SearchUI.exe? I can't seem to toggle it off after turning it on, and the description only says: Dissable Access to: c:\windows\SystemApps\Microsoft.Windows.Cortana_cw5n1h2txyewy\SearchUI.exe...........
Hi again, Is DavidXanatos still around? No post here from him in a while... I would go as far as requesting a pull on this software, it brings messed up behavior in Windows 10 N 1809 at least... Some options set cannot be reverted back it seems or I did not understand how... I will have to check each single registry entries to make sure. I love a good challenge but this is dangerous. Today, coming back from work I have no net! I rebooted, rebooted the router... but only my computer has no net! Took a bit of time to realize that it's the firewall of this thing that all of a sudden kicked in as my AV expired today and somehow this guy took over, but I did not install the service. It panicked me about potential hardware issues... In the meantime troubleshooting this, someone clogged the toilet and solid! Hardware store run to get a fish, didnt work, splashed s**t everywhere in the process!! Ok, now I can focus on this, I hope David or someone else could help with an easy way out of this software effects...!
Yep, i got it too, and there are more actually. But i succeed reverted it manually. This tool is far from stable, i'm not recommending anyone to try it yet However, I'm still haven't found yet how to revert the searchui.exe disable. I've checked the file, registry, permission and nothing. Beside that it's disable the search feature (as the name suggest), it also messed up pin to start and the start menu itself. It's already a day, nobody replied yet, and i'm really feeling itch now.
@satrianiboys here is the code for cortana and search I have stripped it to only show for Win 10 Code: /* * ######################################### * Cortana & search * ######################################### */ Category searchCat = new Category("Search & Cortana"); Categorys.Add(searchCat); // *** Disable Cortana *** Group cortana = new Group("Disable Cortana"); searchCat.Add(cortana); cortana.Add(new Tweak("Disable Cortana", TweakType.SetGPO, WinVer.Win10) { Path = @"SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Search", Name = "AllowCortana", Value = 0 }); cortana.Add(new Tweak("Forbid the Use of Location", TweakType.SetGPO, WinVer.Win10) { Path = @"SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Search", Name = "AllowSearchToUseLocation", Value = 0 }); // *** Disable Search *** Group search = new Group("Disable Search"); searchCat.Add(search); search.Add(new Tweak("Disable searchUI.exe", TweakType.BlockFile, WinVer.Win10) { Path = @"c:\windows\SystemApps\Microsoft.Windows.Cortana_cw5n1h2txyewy\SearchUI.exe" }); search.Add(new Tweak("Remove Search Box", TweakType.SetGPO, WinVer.Win10) { usrLevel = true, Path = @"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Search", Name = "SearchboxTaskbarMode", Value = 0 });
Thanks I've tried; unblock-file -path "C:\Windows\SystemApps\Microsoft.Windows.Cortana_cw5n1h2txyewy\SearchUI.exe" get-childitem "C:\Windows\SystemApps\Microsoft.Windows.Cortana_cw5n1h2txyewy" | unblock-file -confirm on powershell but it still on disable I don't know what method that BlockFile code do.... ====== Screw it, i'm starting fresh. Thanks to @DavidXanatos
Yep, same here, I was actually coming to see if any updates has been posted but no it seems I will have to format this...
This is buggy. It seemed like a good firewall so I replaced Comodo with it but I had to remove it because it was crashing a lot and I didn't get any popup showing it has crashed, just noticed that the icon was gone from taskbar.
I had very little time the past month sorry, but i will have some time in a week to fix some things, there are more bugs unfortunately, for example it crashes on win10 builds without the store, etc...
