Clarifying Question About "Compatibility" Button

Hi All,

Look at the dialog that appears when I click the Compatibility button, I get a list (see below) that makes me think it is based on my hardware. Is that true?

For example, 1, 2 and 3 may be installed or had been installed on my actual computer. If I have no need for those comparisons or "Compatibility" should I need to use that button?

Thanks!

The defaults in Compatibility mode are generic, not tied to your system's apps.

They're based on a growing list of 3rd-party apps which are known to break when users remove "random" components. When another app gets more compatibility issues, NTLite will add it to the list.

Normally you don't need to touch Compatibility, except when a component removal triggers a warning. The goal is to make you understand it will probably cause some apps to fail.
 
Ah - okay. That makes sense. Just to confirm that if I uncheck Discord - what will happen? Or should I just leave this page alone?
 
Unchecking says, don't protect any component NTLite knows that Discord depends on. It does nothing to the Discord app, it only applies to Windows features NTLite will modify.
