User Contributed Tweaks

One very good tweak of his (that caught me out a few times) is the blocking of unsigned .exe's, very handy for the security minded.

I searched the MDL and TenForum. Couldn't find this, as a stand alone, anyway.

I assume that all legitimate exe's are signed? (Although what's to stop a 'good' malware writer from forging a signature?)
 
pmikep think this is it, been a while since i looked at hs file, it stops Power Run frim running.
Code:
rem "ValidateAdminCodeSignatures" will prevent exe without a digital signature to run as admin: "A referral was returned from the server."
rem reg add "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System" /v "ValidateAdminCodeSignatures" /t REG_DWORD /d "0" /f

Yes, it seems to be still working on Windows 11, since the setting has been removed from CP, but I wonder for how long. :confused:

and that is the constant game of catchup we play. fun isnt it.
its why i treat each os major build number as a seperate os in its own right.
 
i filtered the tweaks from
to which tweaks that reduce handles
almost 5k handles removed from already tweaked OS (Win10 2004.208)

however its need more filtering, will update it soon

Looks like ethernet was completely removed from taking a look at this pic. Never heard of this one before but it seems really extreme removal and must break quite a lot of things.

Not for the typical user for sure.

Yeah I am just looking out of curoisity, there is some stuff there I wasnt aware off which I will use, but if I was just to use it as is, its quite extreme minimisation. Regardless its a useful resource. :)
