Task Explorer v1.5.6 Released
In the latest release, version 1.5.6, several key updates and changes were made to improve overall functionality and performance. One of the notable adjustments is that Task Explorer (TE) no longer lists mounted VHD/VHDX files as disks, focusing solely on real hardware.

Disk Cryptor Build v1.3 Beta
This build resolves issues with Core Isolation and brings full windows 11 compatibility.The driver is digitally signed to be accepted by windows without any workarounds.The UEFI bootloader is NOT signed for secure boot, if you want to use DC with Secure Boot, you will need to setup your own keys and sign it yourself or use a shim loader.We are working on getting a secure boot signature from MS but that has a bit to much testing and formalities to be fast, hence we decided to release this build as is and schedule a SB signature for an upcoming b...

PrivateWin10 -> MajorPrivacy
As you may have noticed, my windows 10 privacy tool PrivateWin10 has not seen much development in the past 2 years. The reasons were many, not only lack of time due to Sandboxie-Plus, but also a couple conceptual issues with the design which can not be fixed without using a driver, as well as the substantially higher amount of fiddling around required to create a advanced UI using XAML in comparison with just Qt widgets.So, moving forward I’m implementing a successor which will be called MajorPrivacy, a much-needed rebranding given that a pri...
