    Great build! HMPA now plays nice with Avira's Web Protection when Network Lockdown is disabled!

    Remember, when two products conflict, you can't tell whether one application is causing the problem, it could also be the other application with a messy implementation. We just made a way to bail out a conflict.

    We use HMPA on our dev machines, no problems.

    I do know that and I had reported the issue to Avira as well, but they were not really that cooperative (suggesting uninstalling HMPA). Obviously, I opted for turning off Avira's Web Protection instead, but it had a nasty habit of reinstating it every now and then.

    Out of curiosity, what are the benefits of Network Lockdown in HMPA? Maybe I should rather have it on and turn Web Protection off as I have been doing until now (with 3.5 branch anyway; it was working flawlessly before).

    Q: what does Block Untrusted Fonts as Audit do. Does Audit throw any alert or just report in Event Viewer.
    Yes, Block Untrusted Fonts is W10 feature vs HMP.A. I can't run Block Untrusted Fonts as Enabled.

    You get no alerts but HMP.A is still logging events in the Event Viewer.

    Okay, some page icons go wonky with Block Untrusted Fonts Enabled. Just me.
    Appears, W10 Untrusted Font feature is not default enabled.

    re: CryptoGuard folder:
    A file is written to that folder when a file (document, image, etc) is opened-for-write.
    And it is deleted when the handle is closed.

    Q: have you figured out why files remain in CryptoGuard folder.

    Hi Erik/Mark

    Upgraded to Windows 10 Preview 14959 and still having problems with SSL communication in all applications. I have disabled every mitigation and protection but it makes no difference, only stopping the drivers or uninstalling the application fixes the problem.

    Have you tested HMP.Alert with any of the preview builds - particulary those after 14931? Any ideas what could be happening? Happy to send any logs if it helps.

    Thanks
    Mark

    v570 on XP seems to be ok. No more BSOD and Firefox 49.0.2 starts okay now.

    We know that 14959 causes some trouble. But that's what you get when running beta software (in this case from MS). We are looking into the matter.

    @erikloman , have there been any other reports of folks unable to poweroff their machines with HMPA installed? I haven't seen any further responses to my posts regarding the problem that I'm having so I figured I'd ask if it is something you guys are working on or if I'm a unique case. Thanks

    I would try updating Windows 10 to the latest release version, which is 14393.351, and see if it helps.

    In some instances the problem is with Windows 10. See if this thread is helpful...

    Quick check in: I have been running build 570 since it was released, and I have not experienced any issues.

    In addition to Victek's reply,

    I do not recall any other reports of folks unable to power off their machines with HMP.A installed.
    It may be a unique case. Nevertheless, I hope that Erik/ the HMP.A team is investigating your case.

    I wonder, is there some software other than Windows Power Options that meddles/ interferes with power off? Perhaps some OEM or motherboard manufacturer's power options utility?
    I could imagine HMP.A could be interfering with such third party power options application, causing the reported issue.

    Thanks for the info, unfortunately I've been through that and many threads discussing windows 10 shutdown issues. I do have hibernation/fast boot disabled. Windows powers off perfectly fine when HMPA is uninstalled. The only difference on my system is that I created a tiered storage pool using the powershell cmdlets. I had to uninstall HMPA to do it because it would cause a BSOD when utilizing the powershell cmdlet New-StoragePool. After creating my tiered storage pool and virtual disk, I reinstalled HMPA, that is when this problem started.

    Nothing crashes, and windows shuts down just fine, the problem is it, the pc just acts like I used the restart option instead of shutdown and boots back up. At this point I believe it may be something to do with HMPA and my tiered storage virtual disk setup (SSD+HD tiers). Win10 doesn't come with the capability available in the management GUI's like Win2k12 server does, so I'm betting very few people are using the capability as it involves a lot of work using powershell to set everything up via CLI.

    At this point I can't blame Windows. It works perfectly fine if I uninstall HMPA, it worked fine with HMPA before I created my tiered storage volume, and doesn't work properly after reinstalling HMPA afterwards.

    I'm afraid that I'm a fringe case and will not get support for this issue. At this rate I may have to request a refund as I just re-upped my subscription recently (been using HMPA for over a year now). It's a shame, I really like the product.

    Well, this is an odd one. Over a year ago, I reset my machine to factory defaults but for some reason, HMP Alert remained installed on the machine, it was never removed during the process--lol!. I recall brainlessly opening Internet Explorer afterward without applying any of the 190 Windows updates first--this was W8.1 at the time. Instantly, I had a HMP Alert about a stack pivot exploit that was apparently completely mitigated. There was no malware at all, I had done many scans, the FRST/Addition thing to boot but the evidence that it was real was among other things, flash player was blown into oblivion. It wasn't replaced until over a day later and was done automatically. Nasty, nasty. My machine kept on going without a hitch, oblivious to the heavy duty Windows damage, including broken BITS. Event Viewer was a mass of red errors, quite a few critical but you'd never know it I had to reset all over again. :mad:
