App Control Tray and Policy Manager 5.2

Thanks to @Skyb0rg007 who helped me in another project (WildByDesign/win32-appcontainer-tools#1) to create a workflow in Github Actions to build the binaries directly on Github. This gives confidence in knowing that the binaries directly match the code in the repo. It also makes it easier for me to get each release done.

• Improved Per-monitorV2 DPI scaling
• Better measurement and spacing for GUI controls

Note: EFI (Signed/System) section is still unfinished.

App Control Tray and Policy Manager 5.1

This release is all about overall polish, particularly related to different DPI scaling factors. Some nice Policy ListView enhancements and fixes as well.

• Dynamically measuring all GUI controls to ensure proper placement in all scaling factors
• Policy ListView enhancements and fixes
  • Switched policy ListView font to Cascadia Code for better, smoother viewing experience
  • Fixed timing of when policy ListView columns automatically resize to fit the content within
  • Fixed some visual glitches with text in policy ListView using DOUBLEBUFFER
• Removed Close and About button as they were unnecessary

Note: The EFI (Signed/System) policy view option under Filtering Options is still very much a work-in-progress. There is still a lot that I want to do there but I have to proceed carefully.

App Control Tray and Policy Manager 5.0.1

• Added EFI (Signed/System) button to the Filtering Options section
  • This allows easily viewing (and sorting) all signed/system policies that are protected in the EFI partition
  • In the future, I would like to add options here for managing signed/system policies (cautiously)
• Added Vulnerable Driver Blocklist check to the Current Policy Information section
• Added App Control Wizard button (shortcut) to the Tools & Logs section
  • If App Control Wizard is not installed, it can optionally take the user to the Download page

Fixed in 5.0.1:

• Fixed bug with Current Policy Information where it was not retrieving the Vulnerable Driver Blocklist status after the auto-refresh when adding or removing policies.

App Control Tray and Policy Manager 5.0

App Control Tray and Policy Manager 4.8

This release fixes a couple of minor issues but, most importantly, fixes the problem in Light Mode where the buttons, scrollbars and header were showing up dark. Light Mode was a contrasting disaster!

Clearly I am not a regular user of Light Mode. But for any Light Mode users out there, this release should be a relief.

• fixes Light Mode
• fixes glitches when hovering over Policy Options due to $LVS_EX_INFOTIP
• cleaned up parsing of Policy Options
