Microsoft has just updated the Embedded Lockdown Manager in Windows Embedded 8.1 Industry.
The new update enables the configuration of the following features through the Management Console Snap-In UI:
- USB Filter
- App Launcher
- Gesture Filter
This makes the configuration much simpler than before. The Breakout Key of the Keyboard Filter can now be configured as well through the UI. Also Shell Launcher can be enabled through a simple click in the Management UI.
Please note that you must install KB 2932074 first to be able to configure App Launcher through the Embedded Lockdown Manager.
To download the new version of the Embedded Lockdown Manager, visit the Microsoft Download Center or contact Elbacom for assistance. The new UI-based configuration makes it significantly easier to implement lockdown scenarios for embedded devices — especially helpful for device builders who are not deeply familiar with command-line configuration tools.
