[QUOTE="wat0114, post: 1004902, member: 91306"] This seems like such a stupid implementation of this so called security feature: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-use-smart-app-control-windows-11-2022-update-version-22h2/[/URL] First they make the user re-install or reset Windows 11 before it can even be activated, then they hamstrung the user by eliminating them from making any kind of informed decisions about which apps to allow and which ones to block. The user can only turn it off to install an app that's getting unjustifiably blocked by SAC. I get it that's it's some sort of AI-based security feature that we're apparently supposed to trust to know what's best and do all the decision making, but to take the user out that equation except to disable it completely to get an app installed just seems stupid. Maybe I'm misunderstanding something, but at least that's the impression I'm getting from what I've briefly read about it. I really miss Applocker available in Windows 7 Ultimate. [/QUOTE]
