What's New
-
🚀 Improved performance across the board by utilizing newer APIs and language features.
-
✨ Added support for Protocol Activation.
-
You can now launch the AppControl Manager with the following URI:
appcontrol-manager:. -
You can also pass arguments to it like this
appcontrol-manager:--action=FileHashes--file=C:\Users\program.exe. -
The protocol activation feature is mostly introduced to be used by the OS itself or other programs.
-
This feature enables you to launch AppControl Manager directly from the Microsoft Recall in order to trace back the actions you performed at specific moments in time in the past.
-
Note that you can prevent Recall from taking screenshot of the AppControl Manager by enabling the Screen Shield feature in the app settings.
-
You can control this feature in the app setting via the "Publish Activity In The OS" toggle button.
-
Tip
For instance, if you opened a file 2 weeks ago to view its hashes or certificates, or if you opened or modified an App Control policy in the Policy editor few days ago, you can now tap on the smart action in Recall to continue your action or trace it back, providing the same file still exists on your device.
-
🔝 Updated NuGet dependencies.
-
🛼 Created a new workflow that includes a new button design that allows cancellation of tasks that you initiate. When you first press the button, it starts the task that you selected, starts showing pulsating effect as shadows, and if you press the same button again, you have the ability to safely cancel the task that you started. This new behavior will be available for all of the buttons that initiate long running tasks and in this update, it is available only in the Deny policy creation page for Files and Folders section. In the next update it will expand to cover the rest of the features. As always, please feel free to share feedback on GitHub or through other channels if you like.
-
🌐 Improved localization.
Here is a demo of the cancel workflow and its animation
