# windows_usbkill

This script is my version of <https://github.com/hephaest0s/usbkill> for Windows 11 and 10 which runs in the system tray. The script will shutdown your Windows machine if it detects a device that gets plugged into your computer's USB ports, which will be logged to a .txt file. There is also a pause/unpause feature in the event you need to plug in a USB device.

This script has been tested on Windows 11 22H2.

## Install (Python)
1. Install Python 3 for Windows.
2. ```git clone https://git.willys.zone/Willy/windows_usbkill.git```
3. ```cd .\windows_usbkill\```
4. ```pip install -r requirements.txt```
5. ```python3 windows_usbkill.py```

I recommend using [Non-sucking Service Manager](https://nssm.cc/) to run the script as a Windows service.

## Install (.exe)
**Notice**: Python executables made with pyinstaller are sometimes falsely flagged as viruses by anti-viruses; if the AV is causing issues, I recommend using the python method above. Keep in mind that since this executable is unsigned, you will get a one-time "unrecognized app" prompt. Press "More Info" and then "Run Anyway.".
1. Download the latest version from the "Releases" page.
2. Run executable.

## Build
