Hard Configurator

Free Download Hard Configurator is the latest version standalone offline installer for Windows; it is a GUI to manage Software Restriction Policies easily.

Overview of Hard Configurator

This program is a graphical user interface for advanced users to manage Software Restriction Policies (SRP) and harden Windows Home editions from Vista Up.

You can configure Windows built-in security to harden the system. When you close it, it closes all its processes. The real-time protection comes from the reconfigured Windows settings.
