Hi @ymg2006,

Did you take a release binaries (1.1, 1.0) or tried to compile by your own? This is an important question because release 1.1 doesn't have a process hiding feature and there are about 30 commits since the latest release 1,1. Process hiding feature isn't included to any release so if you want it you have to recompile the latest code by your own.

I hope you are fine.
I have cloned and compiled the latest commit and tested them, moreover all the releases, I also tried on windows 10(1809) and 8.1 because I was suspicious of the base of my windows server(1809) so I started to test with the windows server's first release and updated it as of today. Afterward, I tested with windows server 2022 and this was interesting that neither file hiding nor process hiding did not work on the server edition of windows.

Ok thanks, sounds like a bug. Did you try to hide something manually using hiddencli tool? Or you just checked an issue by hiddentests?

I use hidden to hide vmware tools and tested with al-khaser which detects all drivers files which I included to hide inside config. I also thought config is not loading properly and added files manually with hiddencli but it did not hide too.
