“Smart App Control is a major enhancement to the Windows 11 security model that prevents users from running malicious applications on Windows devices that default blocks untrusted or unsigned applications,” Microsoft vice president David Weston explains. “It goes beyond previous built-in browser protections and is woven directly into the core of the OS at the process level. Using code signing along with AI, ...
our new Smart App Control only allows processes to run that are predicted to be safe based on either code certificates or an AI model for application trust within the Microsoft cloud....Model inference occurs 24 hours a day on the latest threat intelligence that provides trillions of signals.”
Smart App Control is interesting because it will be enabled by default on new Windows PCs in the future. But if you upgrade to whatever version of Windows 11 that enables this feature on an existing install, you will have to use Reset this PC to reset Windows 11 and clean install it. That is, I believe, unprecedented.

Sounds yummy. Not.
BTW, I emphasized the part in the blockquote.

Bill Gate$?
Viruses?
Windoze?
What are these things?
And you need to reset the computer (that is, WIPE AND RE-INSTALL CLEAN).
My wife and daughter both have/had Lenovo Yoga touch screen convertible laptops and about a month ago, within 24 hours of each other, they both went kaput. Hit the power button and the light comes on for a second and goes out and they never even make it to a BIOS or Lenovo logo screen. Not the exact same Yoga models either. Nothing else in the house had a problem and with laptops having an AC adapter, I wouldn’t think a power surge would do anything. No stormy weather or lightning at the time.
Was it Windows?
How about not permitting a game app to delete Word files?
Programs from third parties should not have write and delete privileges over files they did not create.
But which meant converting the MBR to GPT without losing data, and then migration, and thus customization to change the negative "improvements" of W/11 to W/10 (which was also was customized to be more like W/7). Now for a Reset this PC to reset Windows 11 and clean install it?
My Microsoft PC becomes a piece of junk when connected to the Internet.
My Google operating devices seem to function on the Internet.
Microsoft has been working to have PCs require tracking info like phone numbers or email addresses for a while now. It makes me more interested in improving my Linux skills. Linking people to their cell phones, so Big Brother can track them easier, is a major loss of privacy.
Plus the built in Edge Browser will prevent you from going to websites that MS does not want you to see.
i am ot purchasinnng a new machine just for windows 11!!!
“I’m sorry, Dave. I’m afraid I can’t let you do that.”
It’s for your own good!
If Microsoft had proper security its executives and programmers would be behind bars.
Same as Apple.
At least with Microsoft, you can still install 3rd party hardware.
Meh.
Another reason to go to Linux.
Everyone is wrong about this.
let me clarify
If today you have a Windows 11 machine you have a choice
You can Wipe your Machine and after that it will only run ‘trusted’ software.
If you do nothing it will work the way it always has.
I have a Surface go 3 with win11 It came with this mode enabled, but the very first thing I did was disable it.
(there was a warning that to re-enable it I would have to wipe the machine)
this is a huge bunch of NOTHING
today anyway
I should be so lucky.
I suffered through two hours of updates for every half hour of functionality online.
I’m now typing on an Android phone.
“our new Smart App Control only allows processes to run that are predicted to be safe based on either code certificates or an AI model for application trust within the Microsoft cloud.”
That’s one way to weed out apps that are conservative in nature. Or anything that is not politically correct. For anyone who thinks it won’t happen. You have not been paying attention.
If you can’t even get to BIOS, then it’s catastrophic hardware failure.
Memory, CPU, chipset.
I saw a Windows machine with what was Windows 10s with something like that as I remember.
I passed on the $149 Windows machines at Christmas time.
That’s Seattle talk for not robust.
