NSudo VS Cryptomator

Before you update you could try starting Task Manager with NSudo under the SYSTEM account. Might bypass that access is denied error.

NSudo is Open Source

That file is NSudo, an open source sudo-like tool for Windows. If GenP were malicious, it would most likely be the other files, not NSudo.

And I have that batch file in the same folder as NSudoLC.exe when extracted from the latest NSudo release from https://github.com/M2Team/NSudo/releases This should also work fine on 10.

i looked up the code a bit and it actually disables the defender.. the only red flag here IMO is it disables a lot of protection like network firewalls too, so now you won't get any alert for threats and intrusions, and it downloads(see this and this ) a tool your local machine though, but it is an opensource tool which is used to access high privileged files commonly used by developers to test and debug.. other than that it doesn't send any info from your machine to any external servers.

NSudo - A Powerful System Administration Tool.

You could always manually re-create the service referencing a clean windows 10 image (services.msc). I should probably note that this service is generally owned by Trusted Installer and should be re-created with the same privileges to avoid any conflicts (or security holes). Worse case scenario run Services.msc with NSUDO https://github.com/M2Team/NSudo

the best way to do this is with https://cryptomator.org

Before putting anything on a cloud service I would recommend 3rd party tools, like Cryptomator, to encrypt folders and such, then upload to a cloud service.

I use Cryptomator - https://cryptomator.org

I've used countless encryption "schemes" over the years, from True/Vera-Crypt to encrypted sparse bundles/images, and none have ever really felt right.

These days i tend to use Cryptomator[0] instead. It accomplishes what none of the others could do, which is transparent encryption across devices.

With Cryptomator, i simply create a vault somewhere in the cloud, stuff data in it, and i can access it from my laptop, phone or tablet, and not think much about it. It integrates into the normal file browsing APIs, and doesn't get in the way.

Because it does "per file" encryption, it also doesn't need to download a 20-100MB chunk from the cloud before decrypting, so it's rather fast (depending on file size of course).

Cryptomator's arguably the most popular encryption software for cloud storage (you can give yourself zero-knowledge encryption by using them) - it's actually what they specialize & focus on (cloud encryption). It's 100% open source and Free to use on computers. On phones I believe it's just a 1-time fee of a few bucks ($13-14, then you have it forever) - note: their iOS offering is still new, so may be a bit unpolished at the moment.

This is the solution: https://cryptomator.org/

Cryptomator. It is made for uploading files securely to cloud storage, but works locally, is easy to use, and completely free for your use case.
