What's New

  • Implemented a new GUI section to offer a unified place to browse for multiple files and add them all at once to multiple exclusion lists. Closes #323 - Related Discussion

  • BitLocker encryption has been added to the GUI! You can now effortlessly encrypt the OS drive, non-OS drives, and removable drives directly through the graphical interface, with multiple options available for each type of encryption. With the encryption process now fully integrated into the GUI, the command-line encryption feature has been removed. Previously, encryption through the CLI was manual and limited by the terminal's capabilities. - Closes #282

  • With this pull request, the Harden Windows Security project is now fully implemented in native C# code, adhering to modern best practices. For those interested in the technical details, you can find more information here. Once PowerShell 7.5 and .NET 9 reach stable release, the application will undergo a complete GUI overhaul. This update will introduce a modernized design aligned with Windows 11 aesthetics, seamless automatic dark/light mode based on your system theme, and many additional enhancements.

  • When running without elevated privileges, any GUI pages requiring administrative access will no longer open automatically. Instead, a dialog box will appear, notifying you that Administrator privileges are necessary to proceed.

  • On the BitLocker page, utilizing the execute button now ensures that relevant group policies are applied to facilitate proper drive encryption. These policies are essential for enabling advanced BitLocker features, such as TPM-based key protectors and Enhanced PINs.

  • A new toggle has been introduced on the Logs tab, allowing users to enable or disable the logger's auto-scroll functionality with ease.

  • The Logs tab now includes a convenient button for swiftly exporting all log entries to a file, streamlining the process for documentation or analysis.

  • You can access the BitLocker page to view all recovery passwords for BitLocker-encrypted drives. Additionally, you can utilize the backup button to store these passwords in a file for safekeeping. The file will include all of the necessary properties in case you need to perform drive recovery in the future from the OOBE.

  • Fixed an issue where Controlled Folder Access exclusions list would be cleared after using the Harden Windows Security application.

  • The GUI toggle button on the Protect page used to write logs to the Windows event viewer is now disable when running without Administrator privileges as it is required for writing event logs to the designated location.
