Comparison between ConfigureDefender and the Microsoft Defender options in Harden-Windows-Security

[matru]

Hey @HotCakeX, awesome work on the tools you are making.

I wanted to ask the community here if they've used ConfigureDefender and then switched over to Harden-Windows-Security, or vice versa.

I've just opened another discussion on the ConfigureDefender repo, which has been a great contribution to the home user Windows Defender enhancement experience for the past few years by the great @AndyFul.

I wanted to ask what are your guys thoughts comparing between these tools, specifically in the Microsoft Defender section of @HotCakeX tool, and while HWS Defender options are only one of many options, I am still interested in what are your thoughts on the differences between the tools when solely comparing their Defender adjustment capabilities and some of which options I am not completely familiar in one or the other tool.

Hi @matru
I think the better way to approach this is you opening feature suggestion threads in the issues section and telling me which features you'd like to see in the Harden System Security app (if it doesn't already exist) so i can implement them. Work on the apps are never done and they're always open to new features, feedbacks, improvements and so on, to stay the most complete and best solution available.

Thanks @HotCakeX, maybe I was being too lazy, but it's exactly why I opened the thread, since I am missing some titbits of information on the topic and was wondering what are yours and Andy's opinions, on which features you believe are crucial and the other tool lacks, and vice versa.

I'll need to sit down and compare each feature while learning about it's impact, and then come back to the thread, but if you do notice something very apparent that one tool has and the other doesn't and you believe it's very important, do let me know.

Whenever I see there is a good feature missing from the app I'll just add it. I also implement features based on community feedback and feature requests opened in this repo.
