The program automatically detects the USB device for its stability. If the flash drive is defined as unstable, then in this case the serial number will be highlighted in red, and all buttons, except for saving registration data and the close button, will be blocked.

You can copy text inside the secure platform in three ways: Ctrl+C combination, using the context menu (right mouse button) and the programmed Print Screen key. You can paste the text with the usual combination of Ctrl+V and the programmed Insert key.
The difference between these methods lies in the different levels of security of the information being copied (the contents of the clipboard).
The combination of Print Screen and Insert is the safest way, because it allows direct copying from one place (application) to another. However, it allows you to transfer only unformatted text that is used in Notepad and WordPad applications (.txt files). We recommend this combination to transfer logins and passwords.
In new versions, developers of Firefox and Tor Browser have added multiprocessor mode for processing pages and bookmarks. In their opinion, this should speed up the work of the browser. But, after the browser is launched inside the platform, additional processes are launched outside of it and can not communicate with their main process. Therefore, there are problems appeared. To resolve this problem, you should disable multiprocessor mode with the following actions:
1. Enter “about: config” in the browser bar, press “Enter” and confirm your action.
2. In the window that opens, enter the name of the command “browser.tabs.remote.autostart”. By default the value is set on “true”
3. Double click on it and the value will change to “false”
After restarting the browser, multiprocessor mode will be disabled and the browser will work correctly in a protected environment. To enable this multiprocessor mode, the entire procedure should be performed in the reverse order.
