Module vs Script

[ghost]

Hi! What is the difference between the windows security module and the windows security script?

Thank You!

Hi,
The module is newer, has more features (Applying hardening measures, Removing hardening measures, Checking/Auditing hardening measures), it requires new PowerShell core. (Installable using Winget, GitHub or Microsoft store)

The script is for users that use old PowerShell 5.1, the one that comes with Windows. It has less features.

Oh great! So with that being said. If I have a new machine and from the very start should I use the module after I install the new PowerShell from the Windows store?

[HotCakeX]

Yes that's correct

Hi! If I wanted to apply the new update to the module do I need to run the install command every time?

[HotCakeX]

Hi, no, just run the module normally using any of its cmdlets.

Perfect so I can just do the “protect windows security” and be good?

Yes
