~ there is a lot of focus on Defender updates working independently, unlike any other updates "management" solution
~ ifeo safe blocking with no destructive changes of ownership, deleting files, removing tasks, or over-blocking
~ toggle everything from the Desktop right-click context menu!
but wait, there is more:
~ hide/unhide/install update lists with counter at the Desktop right-click context menu!

Does this still work under Windows 11?
Yes, it does!
Tho it won't alleviate the horrible taskbar changes
So I propose using RetroBar: https://github.com/dremin/RetroBar & my RetroBar dark theme: ShittyDark v2 Both can coexist and work great in this proposed setup

windows 11 preview - with RetroBar
