Build 0.80 DavidXanatos released this 19 hours ago

Finally a new build it features major internal rework in project structure for better maintainability and a reworked IPC mechanism for better performance. It also adds a powerful new feature "Control Presets" With those you can control groups of options (tweaks and firewall rules) from the tray or from its new preset page.

For example you could create a preset "Windows Store" that would enable the windows store GPO, enable required the msft account service and allow the store app to access the internet.

Or you could create a "Windows Update" preset that enables windows updates and sets the appropriate firewall rules
or or or... its up to the user to define those presets but in a later build some useful defaults will be offered.
