Talon Release 2.0.2
Caution
Talon is designed to be used on freshly installed Windows 11 systems. Trying to use Talon on an already in-use system, or a any older versions of Windows, is not guaranteed to work and can cause some apps to stop working properly and system corruption!
You can download the pre-packaged executable here.
New Features
- Talon now disables the Windows Platform Binary Table, which allows computer manufacturers to automatically download and execute programs when the operating system starts. While utilized for legitimate purposes, it can be abused to execute malware without user consent, it bypasses BitLocker encryption, and (obviously) results in more bloat from the manufacturer.
- Talon now disables automatic folder discovery in File Explorer. File Explorer tries to guess the type of folder based on its content, slowing down the browsing experience. This change should improve the speed of Explorer.
Improvements
- Provide exact library versions in requirements.txt file.
- CTT WinUtil improvements, notably updated Copilot removal.
- Talon no longer sets systems to prefer IPv4 over IPv6.
Bug Fixes
- None.
