Additionally, I would consider enabling "Smart App Control" if you have the option. It can only be enabed for a certain period of time after installing / reinstalling windows though: Smart App Control - Windows apps

I was just thinking of literally just publishing the raw data, meaning the feature IDs as outputted by the scan tools, not try and figure out what each one does. Because my thinking is there are definitely people who might be interested to fire up a sandbox and mess around with new features that...

From my understanding there did used to be a repo for tracking the new features IDs, and there was a tool that went along with it: GitHub - riverar/mach2: Windows Feature Control Multi-tool (In the 'features' folder specifically) But the creator has since discontinued it because "it has...

I figured out the reason causing error 0x800F0825, at least in my case. If you have Windows Sandbox enabled, that is the reason. You have to disable it in the "Turn Windows Features on and off" menu, reboot, then you'll be able to uninstall KB5063878. You'll even be able to uninstall with the...

An additional note, it seems that this option is grayed out unless you enable the setting to "Automatically manage color for apps" (under Display > Color Profile) for that particular monitor. Though even after enabling the "Allow hdr video streaming..." setting, for me it doesn't seem to...

I'd have to see a screenshot or something of the actual rule. Were you sure to put wildcards as necessary?

I'd check the Event Viewer. The AppLocker logs are under: Application and Services Logs > Microsoft > Windows > AppLocker It might be saying something like "... was allowed to run." Which at least tells you AppLocker is enabled but there's some Allow rule that is being satisfied. Assuming...

Not to toot my own horn but I have what I think is a pretty comprehensive tutorial on setting up AppLocker: If you already came across it and decided that it was too complicated, I actually think for your desired purposes, simply the default automatically generated executable rules (shown at...

It indeed is. I have a few shortcuts to custom arbitrary locations in the Explorer navigation pane that were added by WinAero Tweaker in the form of a new CLSID, and they work too (specifically I had used the option "Navigation Pane - Custom Item" > "Add custom folder"). You could presumably...

Haven't read through the whole thread so not sure if someone already knew this, but turns out you can also create a shortcut to open the Windows 10 interface directly to any CLSID by "sending it through" the control panel. For example take this shell path which is used by a shortcut to Windows...
