Hi all,
per the thread title ("Windows Defender Fall Update New Security Feature Added"), I thought I would make any users of Windows Defender aware that there is a new function which is DISABLED BY DEFAULT!. (In case you don't know or aren't aware of it!).![Wink ;) ;)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Open Windows Defender > Virus & threat protection settings > Controlled folder access (switch it on!). Its purpose is to prevent Ransomeware among other duties I would assume.![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
