Windows 11 New Security Feature Biggest Since Vista

[@ThisWeekinIT]

Thanks for watching! Do you think the new security features go far enough?

RE: New Security Feature, Its difficult to know whether this is just a bad description of how this feature works or whether this feature is as rubbish as it sounds. The whole idea of elevating an account to admin in most cases is so either allow software that requires admin permissions work or installers that need to deploy files into the active profile can work correctly. If the new mode pushes you into a new profile then it won't solve the problem most elevated users are solving and I can't see how it reduces the security risk what-so-ever. All Microsoft had to do was enforce signed exe's and dll's on Windows and although signing to be available for free or < $100 but instead they've made signing too complicated & too expensive and not enforced it. Its very clear they aren't really serious about security, rather just making money by keeping the risk in play and charging customers to 'protect' themselves. When it comes to CrowdStrike, Microsoft shouldn't have approved a kernel driver that downloads and runs external code and had no testing framework. Recovering PC's after the fact isn't the solution.

You have your views yes - signed DLL's - we don't want that complication on Windows. MS never impelements new things without brainstorming it.

One of the best user protections would be a feature to turn of ALL telemetry & adware/spyware.. to be enabled by the user IF they want.

Not sure I understand how the new security feature is better from the configured UAC. Once you provide admin access, you allow the execution of that thing, with whatever changes that needs to make. Besides, everybody begs for subscribing... if I did it for everyone asking for it, would I see other content? If I subscribed to 1000 channnels, I only have a certain amount of hours to watch stuff.

2:13 What are you talking about? What specifically has been discovered that allows a hacker to "exploit" UAC?

How about not holding a microphone in shot?
