[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 777506, member: 32260"] My previous test was done for Windows 10 Pro ver. 1809 so cannot prove anything about Windows 10 Home. As [USER=56349]@Lockdown[/USER] mentioned, when reading Microsoft documentation one can be misguided by the statement: "[B]Applies to:[/B] [LIST] [*][URL='https://wincom.blob.core.windows.net/documents/Windows10_Commercial_Comparison.pdf']Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection (Windows Defender ATP)[/URL]" [/LIST] Every one knows that WD ATP can be installed on Windows Pro but not on Windows Home. So, many users think that advanced WD features are not available on Windows Home. But, when we follow the above link, it is clear that Microsoft uses "WD ATP" phrase also for built-in Windows features, which are available in Windows 10 Home edition, too. For example: [ATTACH=full]201946[/ATTACH] It is evident that the "Next Generation Protection" features are generally the same for Windows 10 Home, Pro, up to Windows E3. From the Microsoft documentation it follows that Next Generation Protection includes : [LIST] [*]Cloud-delivered protection [*]Always-on real-time protection, including behavioral, heuristic, and machine-learning-based protection [*]How end-users interact with the client on individual endpoints [/LIST] The 'Cloud-delivered protection' includes 'Block at first time' feature.

In the next post I will test Windows 10 Home to be certain if the Microsoft claims about "Block at first sight" are true. [/QUOTE]
