Defender Switcher has been completely rewritten in PowerShell!
- The PowerShell version (
DefenderSwitcher.ps1) is now the main tool. The EXE version won't get updates anymore, but you can still use it if you prefer. - After the first run, the tool saves the CAB file locally, so no internet connection is required later.
- When you run it, the script checks your system for issues. If any are found, it will prompt you to fix them by running
sfc /scannow. - The CAB installation process has been improved and now works without errors (likely).
- Thanks to PowerShell, the tool is now faster and more efficient.
- The project is fully open-source, making it easier for anyone to contribute or modify.
- A new method for obtaining highest privileges has replaced the old one used in the EXE version.
In short: The tool is now simpler, faster, and more reliable.
