What’s new in Disk Password Protection 5.6
Support for modern UEFI systems The UEFI boot protection modules are signed with Microsoft UEFI CA 2023. New computers require this signature when Secure Boot is on, and boot protection now works on them too.
Windows on ARM Runs on 64-bit Windows for ARM processors, for example on Snapdragon laptops.
Stronger protection against password guessing The boot password is checked with PBKDF2. Each check takes much more computation, so brute force has become much harder.
System requirements Windows XP and Vista are no longer supported. The minimum is Windows 7 SP1.
High-DPI displays The interface is sharper and renders correctly on high-DPI displays.
Fixes The UEFI boot protection module is now compatible with BitLocker. Boot protection no longer turns off after certain Windows updates.
