I like your videos straight, clear and to the point - and very useful. No fluff.
Appreciate it! I get frustrated when I see so much blah blah in videos. Just tell me what I need to know 😜
Yes! I am always happy to watch your vids because I know it will be concise.
Wow. Packed full of information. Thank you. Great job.
@@wildbill4496 You are right Wild Bill, we shouldn't follow anyone blindly. Thank you for your comment. I have found Liron's videos helpful in the past, but your words are wise.
This videos are always really informative which I really appreciate
Glad you like them!
Thank you! You make useful tutorials so interesting and fun👍
Happy to hear that!
Ok, have a lot of work to do... thanks so much for these videos!
More to come... So pace yourself 😂
Ok you are very helpful. Thank you so much. I’m joining this channel .
Great info as always. Thanks!!👍😎
Thanks for hanging out here 👍
very helpfull thanks !
I have benefitted from the tips you give on many of your videos, but I have questions about a couple of the tips you give in this one. I have a few apps that are perfectly safe, but that Windows alerted me to block from installation when I installed them. They are photography related (app for my star tracker, for instance), and as near as I can deduce, the only reason Windows recommends blocking them is likely that they simply didn't go through the vetting process that other, more commercially prominent apps might go through. If I amp up security to block potentially harmful apps from downloading and installing, will those apps be blocked completely, or will there just be a notification of the risk, but still be allowed to download and install. Also, I have devices that create their own virtual network (star tracker and camera, for instance), that I can then join with my PC, laptop or phone, so that I can control the device remotely. If wanting to use my PC or laptop, do the increased security measures for device integration that you suggest block those connections, or will I simply be notified of the potential risk but be allowed to connect anyway?
This was very helpful for me as I have been hacked once or twice, tysm!
hi, i’m so glad you did this video, have you gone into the settings deeper?
have you tried on your device for security?
go to settings then down a little to Screen Time.
then go to Content & Privacy Restrictions
and there are more controls on location and make it so it can’t be changed by someone else if your device gets hacked .
Great video. However, if you're into rooting and other types of modding, the Potentially unwanted app blocking can be problematic. It will block a lot of the apps used for rooting.
Thanks for the video ☺️
My pleasure 😊
2:09 block "unwanted apps" from making changes to folders (like your documents folder) and you will find you will break a lot of games that save their data there. So either don't do this, or spend the time setting it up properly to allow the games access.
It is 100% worth it to take the time to allow your game apps access, and any other apps that you wish to allow access !! It is not difficult to do, once you get the hang of it !!!
Yeah. And if you are using VMware Workstation 15, DO NOT turn on Memory integrity. It freaks the computer out, all VMs are bricked and unusable and it blue screens your PC 90% of the time.
@@Ambassador-For-Christ how do you do it?
@@memejest Sorry, had a death in the family yesterday, so it may be a few days before I have time to answer you properly!
@@Ambassador-For-Christ sorry to hear, my condolences.
AS usual, brilliant content. Thanks again.
My pleasure!
Hi, Liron Thanks for your great work. Could I trouble your memory regarding a "transcribe audio to text" app that you demonstrated? I cant find it in your history.
Thanks in advanced
Thank You !! ❤fantastic knowledge 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍⭐️⭐️you are super duper for sharing
Happy to help!
Liron your the best. thank you for what you do for us
Always a pleasure helping and thank you for hanging out here 👍
Excellent!
These are very useful on a notebook or laptop, but for my desktop computer I have no problem not changing some of these settings.
Controlled Folder Access is important for all computers, even though I sometimes get some warnings from normal programs. But it is easy to allow them access.
very good, thanks!
Glad you liked it!
thanks as always for your videos, they help me a lot, the only issue I got is protection history is broken and the window crashes on me when i try to look for protection history, i wonder what should I do to fix it?
hmmm no idea - never seen that. It may be your anti-virus app causing some conflict. You may want to look in the event log or check this video out that will help identify the issue: ruclips.net/video/zebjnKpoG48/видео.html&ab_channel=LironSegev
thanks for video did learn a few new things keep it up.
Glad it helped
@@LironSegev quick question is there a way get notifications off cause when i turn the controlled folder access on there's a lot of notifications
This is one of the things that holds me back from going to Windows 10. If I had my way I would like to turn off every security feature preventing me from doing something. One of the reasons I like Windows 7. Everything I run on it installs and works without jumping through hoops. I use it to control 2 way radios. I have friends with Windows 10 and the same current
software gives them a problems with security this and that pop ups and I know there is noting wrong with the software. Be nice if there was just 1 single switch to turn
it all off and let me decide what to turn on including Window updates. I heard you don't have a choice to pick and choose what updates you want. I like to pick and choose the updates that I know won't be a problem.
I use to be just like you ........ I LOVED Windows 7, and hated Windows 10 !! But now, after taking the time to learn Windows 10 over the last two years, you could not pay me to go back to Windows 7 !! It is all a matter of how willing we are to learn new things ... i.e. JUMP THROUGH HOOPS !!
Hi Liron, thanks for your help and advice. My laptop won't let me turn on the 'Memory Integrity' in the Core Isolation, can you please advise?
Okay on the randomware part where the switch is it's grayed out and above it says in red letters, "Controlled folder access requires turning on Real-time protection". Could that because I have a antivirus that manages my firewall?
If turn on the "Ransomware" take a moment to verify what kind of files/programs is it blocking on, in my case that option was blocking my Steam, so, if you have issues with Steam after turn it on, this Ransomware option is the source.
THANKS!
Thank YOU for hanging out here 👍
Liron I actually have a serious tech question I wonder if you can help me with.
I want to put in a new motherboard and CPU into my Windows Home 64-bit PC. Is there a way I can safely install the new motherboard and CPU without having to reinstall Windows and all my apps.
I have a question, not related to this video. I have I tunes on my windows computer, and use an I-pod touch for music. I need an easy fool proof way to load CD's to the I pod, but it is a hassle , what used to work, no longer does. Instruction videos don't seem to help. Also, need a way to download iTunes directly to my I-pod without creating a new Playlist. Thank you in advance
Thank you for sharing those helpful information. As always I appreciate everything that your sharing.
You are so welcome!
TechieGuy; This setting under Controlled Folder Access is tricky; the folders I have protected are my C: Drive, where my Operating System sits and e: Drive where my personal documents are. When C: Drive is protected; and when I check for Virus and Threat updates I get a notification from Windows that some file was blocked from making changes. Do you think it's safe to unprotect the C: Drive so that these updates can happen? Is there a work around, like in the Windows notification I get also known as the action center where I can allow the change? Sorry not very sure of this as I am a screen reader user
Good information; however, can not find any of these in my version of Windows 10 (completely up to date).
no idea as these are standard Windows 10 options
Trend Maximum Security is awesome...I have been using it for years
How do I stop windows defender stopping me from using certain downloads please ?
(I am pretty sure defender is the cause of the problems I am experiencing downloading music and videos)
Maybe you will make a video about this ? ... Thanks
In the "Public Network" part at about 3 minutes, should we still check the box, "Blocks all incoming connections including those in the list of allowed apps," even if we use the laptops at home all the time...?...Thank you very much...
Hi there. I just tried to enter and change my 'controlled folder access' tab, and it blocked me on my own computer, telling me that my 'IT Administrator has denied me access'. Yet i am simply a home user, on my own PC. I'm now a little worried that maybe I'm being accessed or hacked or something. Could you offer any advice please? Many thanks for all you do.
After setting Controlled folder access options my Documents folder is locked as Read Only, and changing it back has not fixed it
How much video you put on RUclips because I never do get notifications even when I set it you still don't get it
Thanks for these computer helps
Hello, I ran into a little problem attempting to turn on Memory Integrity. I was greeted with a message stating "Memory integrity can't be turned on" Try resolving any incompatibilities with your drivers. A handy little list was provided when I clicked on "Review incompatible drivers". I located the drivers in Windows\System32\Drivers directory and deleted them. I also located the .inf files associated with the drivers and deleted them as well. I restarted the computer and attempted to switch on Memory integrity once again and voila! "Memory integrity can't be turned on"...same drivers listed but can't be found anywhere on the computer. How do I remove a driver that shouldn't exist anymore??
Thanks
Liron, I can't get into the ransomeware page, - Page not available, "Your IT admin has limited access and item you tried is not available.......: I thought I was the administrator!!! What gives? Thanks - love all your helpful videos
You've probably got some malware on your PC, that's what happened to me. Unfortunately, I had to reinstall windows
Are you running an anti-virus that manages your firewall and security? Its probably that.
The settings at 3:10 are only for "Microsoft Edge Browser" I believe. I mean the "reputation-based protection".
So if you don't use "Edge" no apps will be blocked and the other settings won't work too(I believe)!
Please double check the "information" of this comment :)
What does it mean: While watching your video, I will trying to change the Memory Integrity to ''on'' (under Core Isolation), BUT it will not let me. Is there a solution since, they are not giving the option?
4:14 I'm trying to turn this on but it keeps hitting me with "resolve driver incompatibility" and the support page is not helping at all with that matter.
Dear , I somehow put this "zamguard64.sys" into my PC and now Core Isolation can not be done;says problem with this driver.Please suggest if I should keep it or try to remove the zamguard64.sys
Windows 10 user here. There is no "More Bluetooth Options". What now?
Smartscreen cant be on for MS edge , is controlled by adminstrator?
Hi Lirón I have a serious problem, I hope you can help. I'm not a computer wizard. Too often I get on my computer and I think my neighbor cuts me off!! When I try to open file explorer, the Xbox turns red and won't let me go any further so I turn the computer off. Do I need to change my password or reset my computer? ???
Stressed out!!!!!!
Are these able to be used in tandem with a 3rd party AV? I use Bitdefender myself
yes
I got my Windows 11 PC in May 2023. Ransomware option is apparently not available to me?
I found the Ransomeware option but when I clicked on it, I get this popup.
Msg says IT administrator has limited access to some areas of the App... contact IT Help Desk.
This is a personal home PC. No IT Help Desk to contact.
Tried to find the Ransomware Protection and get a message to contact the IT help desk. I am the administrator, but how do you turn this on or get access?
I turned on "controlled folder access" and couldn´t save a PDF I had to save. I turned it off and restarted it so I couild save the PDF. Is there a better option?
I save PDFs all the time. The Controlled Folder Access protect those folders from "unfriendly apps". I wonder if its the app that you using to save the PDF that is some utility or cracked version and therefore its not allowing it to be saved....
in auto-play I use ask me every time for all devices
Incompatibility Problem when trying to switch on Memory Integrity. Incompatible Driver RTKVHD64.sys. Intel says my drivers are up to date. Anyone else? Any idea how to fix, thanks.
i read that turning on controlled folder access causes u more trouble
Why would it?
i dont have ransomware protection access it says my it doesnt have access to it
I tried to get to the ransomeware protection screen and I got an error message that said "Page Not Available. Your IT administrator has limited your access. Contact the IT Help Desk". What? This is a personal computer and I don't have a help desk! What can I do?
thats probably because your anti-virus is managing these for you
I appreciate you , but it does seem like you do a lot of LAPTOP videos . I have a desktop 🖥 I don’t do productivity graphs 📊 or pie charts , and I only play games . Could you do a video to enhance my gaming please 🙏 . Thank you .
Actually Liron the security settings are all controlled by my ESET Smart Security so no need for any action there, and oh I have ESET on my phone too!! The thing that annoys me Liron is that any privacy settings can be reactivated often by Windows updates.
Had to remove Trend as it was not compatible with SteamVR.
Morning, Liron. I used your tip "ThisisWin11" and it removed all bloatware. I'm going to ask again about putting Linux system on Win 11. The icon is there but there's too many variables. I want a simple desktop using the Linux sys. I can't find an easy way to do it-nor so I know if it's protected by my anti-malware program. I tried but ended up with just a bunch of code that I don't know what to with. There's plenty of ppl I talked to and they don't know either. Plz HELP!!
why not just use VMware and install the distro there?
How to reduce the security?
What about green tooth or purple tooth do they have anything like that on Windows
no and yes
LOL 🤣🤣🤣
There is no allow bluetooth devices to find this pc on this computer! It keeps asking me for admin password and then won't take it!
👍👍👍
Yikes!!! Now another problem!. My computer runs really slowly. I found a page about how to improve your computer's performance. The first step was to 'check for updates' to see if I could improve the issues. I clicked on "Windows 10" and it started a page that looked like it was searching for Windows 11 update. I quickly paused the search for 7 days. How do I make sure at the end of 7 days that it doesn't install Windows 11? I have a friend who said her computer automatically installed Windows 11 and she lost everything on her computer! She took it to the computer repair shop and he couldn't retrieve her stuff. Help!
you can always simply rollback Windows 11 to Windows 10. The only way to "lose everything" is if you tell Windows to do a clean install which it tells you that it will delete everything. If you are just doing an update, it should keep everything including programs you have installed.
To be safe, backup all your personal data to an external hard drive.
memory integrity won't turn on for me. There's a driver somewhere on my computer that won't let me turn it on. A little research into it and it's a WD hard drive driver I no longer use. Can't figure out for the life of me how to delete or uninstall it.
you might want to download an uninstaller that will find that driver
The only thing I disagree with is the promo for Trend Micro. Bitdefender blows the doors off Trend.
Love your videos , was wondering if you do private consulting, and happy to pay for your time ,would love to do some of the updates you have suggested, gladly pay for your time "" Brian falls church Va thanks
Hi Brian, unfortunately I don't. You can imagine with this channel there are just way too many queries that it would be impossible. Sorry man.
@@LironSegev thank you for your reply, will watch your videos , to make my window 10 a better platform, will keep watching " you seem a nice guy "" Brian
It won't allow me to turn on "Memory integrity" because "resolve any driver incompatibilities..." 4:20
then dont worry about it. Its telling you that there is a problem, so leave it alone.
When I tried to get to "Controlled Folder Access" under ransomeware protection. . .
a pop-up happened saying "Your IT administrator has limited access to some areas of your app..."
... on my personal computer
on which I am the administrator.
It MAY be your anti-virus app that is now controlling this. Check there
fresh install won't solve it, guess we must thank windows, again
edit: looks like using only windows defender (so no antivirus) you should be able to
👏👏👏👏👏👏
PROBLEM WITH A STEP!!!
Memory Integrity cannot be turned on. Why?
no idea - but I did a quick google search and this was the first result: www.thewindowsclub.com/memory-integrity-greyed-out-or-wont-turn-on-off#:~:text=Reset%20Windows%20Security%20app.,issue%20in%20focus%20is%20resolved.
why have Bluetooth on all the time? it eats up the battery!
Really? Memory integrity can't be turned on with my computer. Windows says try resolving incompatibilities with your drivers! Now just how am I going to do that?
then dont worry about it. Its telling you that there is a problem, so leave it alone.
Needs updating for windows 11
My W10 system has no “more Bluetooth options.”
Where are all the comments??!!
was wondering this myself...I see on Twitter that other people are reporting a comment error today on RUclips...but at least you made it 😂
@@LironSegev yeah lol
Deinstall it?
Check out the Security Events in the Event Viewer in Windows 10 if you want to stop sleeping at night.
true story
"Page not available: Your IT administrator has limited access to some areas of this app, and the item you tried to access is not available. Contact IT helpdesk for more information."
Is what I got when trying to access Ransomware protection; can someone help me fix this?
Most are on W11. Any tips on this version ? 👍
Most are still not on Win11. I have a couple of computers running Win 11 so will get to those tips
I need help
Has anyone said , instal Linux yet , like it's hilarious
I downloaded it for free and get full version
Proximamente; no uses tu PC porque no es seguro.
Next build update Windows will reset all those settings :)
If you use the Local Group Policy Editor, you can prevent Windows updates from resetting all those settings! :)
Have you ran into this?
My pc ( IT will not let you open RANSOMWARE ) What?????? IT
Um, there were NO videos in the corners you pointed to.
hmmm seems fine here on both phone and desktop...
@@LironSegev Aha, it only does that in Chrome, works in Firefox and Opera.
@@simonbyrd6518 strange on all videos or just this one?
@@LironSegev Yes, on another sample video in Chrome that I found with the end cards. Now I notice the YT page is missing the notifications bell in the top right, too. I think this started after the last Chrome update (102), in fact.
Does trend micro keep the gov out of my business??? Not! 😮
If you turn on Memory Integrity (Core Isolation) it stops Virtualization programs from running properly. Caused me problems with VirtualBox and LDPlayer.
hmmm I use VirtualBox and VMware with no issues....Wonder if its system specific?
@@LironSegev I don't know, I have an HP pavilion laptop running Windows 11 Virtualbox did work but at a snails pace, I googled the error message from LDPlayer and found the solution there i.e. turn the memory integrity setting off.
At this point I just am gonna turn windows off. Can't slow down my computer if it isn't even working 😎
haha thats one way to look at it
This is why I hate "software switches", and why desktops are inherently more secure than laptops or phones. On a desktop, if you want to use a microphone or camera, you can just plug them in, and take them off when you are done. It is a "hardware switch" those items can never be hacked if you don't connect them by wire or wireless. The time when you DO connect them is minimised.
Phones are hopeless. [Unless you take the battery out and remove the SIM card]. Many laptops and IPads etc, are not much better.
It is getting increasingly hard to buy "dumb" devices with NO internet capability. If you MUST have devices inter-connected use wire, not wireless. The day will come when NO new vehicles will be built without wireless internet capability. Sure, wireless smart devices are convenient, but there is a price. SECURITY.
So do you REALLY want that smart toaster or fridge?
OS you must change ASAP!
Windows > Linux.
If you use windows, Google or any of their services your computer is not secure period. 73
unless you secure it. Same with ever single OS. period. 74.
@@LironSegev yes well understand it's a different ball game when it comes to phones . I guess computers are safer than phones. Thanks for the information. 73
