Optional Diagnostic data is no longer automatically turned on by the miscellaneous category unless user chooses to turn on Smart App Control or it's already on. otherwise you have have an option to turn it on, highly recommended to do it because in the evaluation mode it needs to determine if your system is a good candidate for this AI based security.

Summary of the changes

  1. Completely rewrote the optional Windows features section to be faster and the code is much more readable
  2. Optional Diagnostic data is no longer automatically turned on by the miscellaneous category unless user chooses to turn on Smart App Control or it's already turned on, otherwise you will have an option to turn it on. Highly recommended to do it because in the evaluation mode it needs to determine if your system is a good candidate for this AI based security and when it's turned on it requires it as well.
  3. Improved the logic of optional prompts that require additional confirmation to run. The prompt that asks to implement scheduled task for fast weekly Microsoft recommended driver block rules is no longer shown if the task is already present and its state is either enabled or running.
