Hi, can you please show me the block message you're seeing? because there's no defender application guard so i need to know which component is exactly blocking it. |

oh i see, you used the Downloads Defense measures category, it prevents executables/programs from running in the Downloads folder. The reason behind that is explained on the readme: https://github.com/HotCakeX/Harden-Windows-Security?tab=readme-ov-file#downloads-defense-measures- If you ever want to remove it, you can use the Unprotect tab from the user interface. If you trust the program you can copy/move it somewhere else from the default Downloads folder and then run it. |

Yes, your laptop is probably configured to go to hibernate when the lid is closed, you can change that to sleep or if it supports modern standby use that instead of hibernate. you can configure it in control panel, i highlighted the path and setting you need to click on

If you want to disable BitLocker completely, you can use the same Unprotect tab again in the Harden Windows Security's GUI. |

Thank you so much! It actually shows blank spots when I go the “what to do when the lid closes” page. Also for the life of me can’t find the bitlocker recovery code file!On Nov 30, 2024, at 10:58 AM, Violet Hansen ***@***.***> wrote:

You're welcome, it shouldn't be empty, at least "shut down" and "do nothing" should be there
The reason the "sleep" option might not be there is because the Microsoft security baselines enable a policy that disable the regular sleep mode (Power states S1-S3). Briefly explained here. If the device supports modern standby mode (which is like phones, instant turn on) then you'd see sleep option in there too even if regular sleep is disabled. You can get your BitLocker recovery keys from here by clicking/tapping on these areas 
You can disable BitLocker by first selecting the refresh button here to populate the list, then select a drive and click/tap on the decrypt button.

One last question! Is there a clean OCD way to open an application while running downloads defense? Should I make a folder in the documents folder?On Dec 1, 2024, at 11:20 AM, Violet Hansen ***@***.***> wrote:

After you install an application, it's no longer launched from the downloads folder, so the block is not recurring. |

So I actually first tried to download 1password from winstall and I till couldn’t open it. It was really weirdOn Dec 1, 2024, at 10:47 PM, Violet Hansen ***@***.***> wrote:

You can run applications in Windows Sandbox too.
Installing apps from Winget or MS Store aren't blocked by this app control policy.
