    Hi

    I have a question, when I open Keepass and enter the master password, the entire database is decrypted ?, or is decrypted only when I try to see or copy a password ?, if so, only the required password is decrypted or the entire database?
    I ask because I want to know if there is a risk of keeping Keepass open without having the workspace blocked.

    KeePass security is described on the Security page of the documentation. The process memory section describe the protections applicable to an open KeePass database.

    In detail, how does KeePass determine what Browsers are available on a Windows 11 machine? Thank you

    See here:
    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/shell/start-menu-reg
    (this still applies to Windows 11, too).

    Best regards,
