This release of MajorPrivacy introduces several important improvements, bug fixes, and optimizations. The resource access rules engine has been enhanced to include the user as an additional parameter, enabling finer-grained access control. CPU usage has been reduced in both the user interface and background service, improving overall performance. The ImBox feature has been updated to avoid modifying container file timestamps when accessing secure encrypted volumes. Firewall rule handling has been improved for Store Apps on Windows 23H2 and later versions, increasing compatibility and reliability. A critical issue has been resolved in ImBox.exe that affects the mounting of older encrypted volumes; users should use a previous build to recover data and then recreate the volumes using this or a later version. Additionally, several interface and functionality bugs have been addressed: translations now load correctly, the Data Editor’s tree view now functions properly across multiple .dat files, and the Execution Monitor displays entries as expected when a time filter is applied. The “Add to Group” menu now correctly lists all available groups, and folder creation is no longer incorrectly permitted under Directory Listing and Read-only actions.

I don't see a "global switch" to turn disable the firewall module so by "to not use firewall related features", I guess you mean to uncheck each case, right? Spoiler Edit: I noticed there's a setting that doesn't hold changes: https://youtu.be/8kR_iu3iPTM
I see that folder with ini was created by the installer i have fixed it to create it at the right location. I'll fix the setting not taking in the next build, but be warned that option must be set on also for the WFC you are using, as its a windows setting that can be toggled there.
No I don't want to use such setting if it's not needed to disable your MP firewall module. Again, I want to know how to disable MP's firewall module completely, I don't want it to interfere in any way with WFC.
I use Shadow Defender. All changes are deleted at a machine restart. Where are MP settings stored? I excluded from shadow mode these: C:\ProgramData\Xanasoft\MajorPrivacy\* and C:\Users\UserX\AppData\Local\Xanasoft\MajorPrivacy\* I am still losing my MP settings when I restart the computer...
Well most of the rules are stored in the registry at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\KernelIsolator\Parameters\Config MP does not yet have a "firewall module" that's something on my todo, currently it, like WFC and Priv10, simply uses the Windows own Windows Firewall, it allows to edit its rules it listens to its events. So unless you use it to edit rules or change firewall config it will not interfere with WFC. It adds a great many features to it, like the ability to create a rule template, basically a FW rule for Something windows does not support like path wildcards, then when a connection attempt for a matching executable is observed a new specific actual rule is created. It can also watch for rule changes and undo them automatically if you enable that. If you don't want to use these features you can configure it like this: "Windows Firewall Mode" is whatever windows is set to, when you change this setting in WFC it will be reflected in MP's config dialog as well. Same for "Firewall Audit Policy" it reflects the Windows's state and changing it in WFC will be shown here as well. With the above settings MP will still list all window firewall rules in the UI, and you will be able to edit them if you would want to, what in some cases is actually a good useful as the WFC rule edit dialog is lacking some fields that can be set in more modern windows versions, to be precise WFC can only set BinaryName and ServiceTag but niter AppPkgId nor PFN (booth are ways to identify modern store packaged apps). But I feel like you would like to request a switch to hide all that from the UI completely, correct?
