AppControl Manager 1.2.0.0 and WDACConfig 0.4.8
What's New
AppControl Manager App
-
Improved the policy viewing page. Now there is a complete data grid with sortable and relocatable columns, offering very nice experience for managing and viewing the deployed policies and searching through them.
-
The AppControl Manager now has a new option in the Update page where you can turn on (it is off by default), and that option will make it check for updates on app startup and then if a new version is available, will display a small dot on the navigation menu next to the update page's icon, letting you know there is a new version available and if you want, you can go to the update page, click/tap on the update button to update it. It respects user's choice and is a non-intrusive and subtle notification method.
WDACConfig Module
-
It works on Windows 11 build 23H2 again.
-
Removed the
-SkipVersionCheck
from all cmdlets, instead added a new setting to the user configurations, namedAutoUpdate
, you can configure it once and the built-in update checker will use that value to determine whether check for new version should happen or not. This improves user experience as you no longer have to pass the-SkipVersionCheck
for every cmdlet if you wish to stay on a specific version of the WDACConfig despite newer versions being available.-
The check for update happens every 1 hour.
-
To completely disable automatic check for update, you can use the following command:
set-commonWDACConfig -AutoUpdate $false
. -
To enable automatic check for update, you can use the following command:
set-commonWDACConfig -AutoUpdate $true
.
-
-
Significantly improved the performance of the merge operations during policy creation tasks.
