version 12.2.1

NEW! Implemented mounting of install.wim image if drive was detected.
NEW! You can download the script from 2 sources: Softpedia and instalki.pl.
FIX! Changed letter from I to J for mounting Images.
FIX! Changed the rule of disabling SmartScreen when is selected N or E letter from the menu. (renaming is not working)
This version is designed for who want to test removal of Defender via offline Windows Image (ISO, .wim). Maybe i'll finish in 1 week or two, but that will worth. =))

Known issues:

1. After mounting images it will show an menu. Pressing the specified letters will no go to menus because is not implemented the removal or disablation.
2. When the script detected the image as .esd, the app will crash.
3. In Windows 11 Moment 2 (and Moment 1) the task manager will go to old version.
4. Testing workarounds for UWP issues such disconnected storage error.

version 12.2

NEW! Added Support for importing "install.wim" file for disabling / removing removing defender by pressing "I". (This is not working for now.)
SOON! Also the support for importing "install.esd" will be added, but the exported file will be ".wim"
NEW! Added Support for OSCDIMG. a Microsoft Tool which export modified .wim files and create an ISO file, without any user interventions. (This may not work for now).

Known issues:
#34 Task Manager may be restored to "old version" due an unknown issue, which is investigating.
#35 Investigating the Disconnected Storage error when some UWP are installed.
The tool part for modifying install.esd and install.wim by removing/disabling defender is not work as expected, When I is pressed, it applies the removal instead looking for drives and mounting .wim file (or converting .esd ->.wim and mounting)

version 12.1

Release 12.1

Attention! in resource it say version 12.0
FIX! Modifying the UAC Disabler Rules because of someone said about UWP Startup not working. To fix the issue please check if the values are put in registry (because the script putted the values to 0)

"EnableFullTrustStartupTasks"=dword:00000002 
"EnableUwpStartupTasks"=dword:00000002 
"SupportFullTrustStartupTasks"=dword:00000001 
"SupportUwpStartupTasks"=dword:00000001

Version 10.5.1

*Adding removal of Windows Virtualization Based Security , without the removal of Hyper-V Protected-Code Integrity
see more in this link , what is it (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/design/device-experiences/oem-hvci-enablement).
*Workaround for #7 , if the remover not encounter problems after applying this version of the script, they can close the issue => this issue with VM is resolved, so Virtual Box MUST RUN now without any issue.

*In plus, removal of HVSI is causing so many problems with VirtualBox, and Hyper-V ,i am added some registry policies to disable VBS and Creditual Guard in Windows 11/10 even this is enabled or not, and added an existed policy, which can be in:"ConfigCIPolicyFilePath"="C:\Windows\schemas\CodeIntegrity\ExamplePolicies\AllowAll.xml" without affecting workloads of virtualization apps.
In the moment of release, all writed scenarios, are tested.
