SetUserFTA 2.x will be the last release supporting 32-bit. SetUserFTA 3.x is native x64 only and drops legacy OS support. It’s now in release candidate stage (no ETA yet) and adds AppDefaultHashRotation more features & optimizations 😎

Looks like Microsoft is rolling out the new hash protection more broadly - even my test VM just got migrated to UserChoiceLatest. Time to update @SetUserFTA, I guess 😬
Microsoft is A/B testing Office file extension protection via UCPD.sys (.doc/.docx/.xls/.xlsx/.ppt/.pptx) on consumer Windows (non-Enterprise, non-domain, non-EDU).
This “feature” is now active for some as part of an experimental rollout. SetUserFTA can already handle this.
Windows 11 is now getting UCPD.sys v4.2. The update activates features that block several workarounds used by various software products, including SetUserFTA, which already handles the change by falling back to alternative methods. More info soon.
🚨 New Blog Post: UserChoiceLatest - Microsoft’s new protection mechanism for file type associations. What it changes, how it impacts file association management, and what it means for tools like SetUserFTA. kolbi.cz/blog/2025/04/20/use…
RELEASE: SetUserFTA v2.5.0 is now available. SilentFTA is included as a free add-on for all existing customers. Additionally, it properly handles the UCPD.sys v4.1 bug. The update is available through the download portal.
Coming soon: SilentFTA, an addon to SetUserFTA that processes config files completely silently, without showing a command line window. Stay tuned for more details. #SilentFTA#Windows#Automation#SetUserFTA
Due to minor bugs and recent Microsoft changes, we didn’t officially announce SetUserFTA 2.0. But it’s already in use by multiple customers and now available at version 2.1.3. More info here: setuserfta.com/setuserfta-2-…
Microsoft has released a new version of UCPD.sys, which impacts the functionality of the licensed edition of SetUserFTA for HTTP, HTTPS, and .PDF associations. An update will be available shortly to address this issue.
SetUserFTA 2.0 can now display the command line associated with a file type, making it significantly easier to troubleshoot issues related to file associations.
SetUserFTA has now its own domain and Twitter account. I will no longer use my blog to share information about SetUserFTA. Please follow @setuserfta on Twitter and visit the website at setuserfta.com
UPDATE: SetUserFTA v1.8.1 - fixes a bug where new extensions could not be associated (only existing ones worked properly) affected v1.8 only. Check setuserfta.com for more information.
