If you want Windows 11’s new security features, you’ll need to reinstall Windows 11. [Newspaper] (2022)
Abstract
KUALA LUMPUR, April 8 — Microsoft has announced a host of new security features for Windows 11 specifically with ‘hybrid work’ in mind. Essentially, these changes will see significant security updates that add more protection into your PC covering everything from the hardware, software and the cloud. However, one particular security feature could mean that Windows 11 users will be forced into a complete reinstall of the OS to use it.The new feature in particular is the ‘Smart App Control’, something that Microsoft’s Vice President of Enterprise and OS Security David Weston dubs as a major enhancement to the Windows 11 security model. Windows by default blocks untrusted and unsigned applications from running to prevent users accidentally running harmful programs. Smart App Control builds on this by integrating security measures into the core of the OS at process level, only allowing processing to run if they’ve been deemed safe either by having proper certificates or if an AI model for application trust within the Microsoft cloud approves it.
