So you can only run code that Microsoft says you can run.

Sounds yummy. Not.

BTW, I emphasized the part in the blockquote.

Windows 11 Security / Restrictions ... PING!

You can find all the Windows Ping list threads with FR search: just search on keyword "windowspinglist".

Viruses?

Windoze?

What are these things?

Enabled By Default. In the future.

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.

And I just upgraded to W/11 (as I did for free from W/8 to 8.1, and then to W/10, from a $29.00 upgrade on the retail channel from XP) years ago).

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.

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.

Oh I am so glad I bought a Apple MacAir last year, the updates are easy and the computer works great.

Eeeehhhhhh, ferrrrrrrk yerrrrrrrr, Microsoft. Why can't we make that choice? Will FR be "bad code" under their standards?

was just thinking that- a lot of stuff I’ve used over the years was unsigned- and necessary to run certain things- now they won’t run?

No thanks. I’ll stay with my trusty, 2009 Win-7 Pro x64 and Opera.
