Good stuff. Probably too complicated for the idiots who will click on ransomware.

Press the Start button and type “Windows Defender Security Center.”

Why do I have to type such a long sentence?
How about telling us where to click on an icon.

From what I see in the screenshots the writer could have said:
Click the Start button then Settings then the Windows Defender link then “Open Windows Defender Security Center” button.

Once you know your way around Settings it is easy to find everything.
Remembering a gazillion names of programs is not.

“Allow an app through Controlled folder access.” This option will whitelist the apps that are allowed to access, edit, create or remove files from protected folders.

Good luck with that. How many people know what and where to find the app? Nice of them to include this but Malwarebytes will protect your whole pc and not allow ransomware on it to begin with.
