[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 865402, member: 32260"] The Edge Chromium features ("Microsoft Defender SmartScreen" and "Block potentially unwanted apps") work even if WD real-time protection is disabled and SmartScreen for [S]Edge[/S] [S]or for[/S] Explorer is disabled. If one disables "Microsoft Defender SmartScreen" in Edge Chromium then also "Block potentially unwanted apps" is automatically disabled. So, it seems that "Block potentially unwanted apps" is a part of SmartScreen protection. It is not clear if "Block potentially unwanted apps" in Edge Chromium works exactly as WD PUA protection. From the description, this feature blocks downloading applications that have a low reputation. But, low reputation applications are blocked by SmartScreen App Rep. [/QUOTE]
