I just received report of a Lockdown user not being able to download files in Chrome or Edge (Chromium) with no blocking reported in the event logs. Thanks to Luke for the report and solution, v1.1.2 has been uploaded to include a new default path in the whitelist rules for “%programdata%\Microsoft\Windows Defender” because executables in there were being used to scan file downloads, rather than their counterparts in %programfiles%, I guess.
Updated Windows Update Repair routines for Windows 10. v21.6.19.x (Repost) Updated to recognize Windows 11. Corrected an issue with Windows Server 2019 and later versions being reported as Server 2016. Since there is no build number difference between Server 2019 and Server v1809 all instances of Windows Server beyond 2016 should now display as simply Windows Server with the build, e.g. “Windows Server 20H2” The Windows version display will once again turn red when a...
d7x Auto Mode previously only resumed automatically after a reboot when running Auto Mode from the Malware tab; now it resumes after reboot if running from all tabs except the Tweaks tab. d7x will no longer prompt to enable Auto Login to Windows when starting Auto Mode if there is only one user account on the system other than administrator/guest/built-in service accounts.

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.
