[QUOTE="93803123, post: 838483"] File upload to the cloud and analysis there is already done. It is just that the setting to increase the time is hidden on Home and other versions of Windows. Microsoft's first concern is taking care of enterprise users, and not home users. Home users are Microsoft's very last concern. So home users get what Microsoft decides to make available in Windows security. Settings might be modifiable outside of the GUI. For example, by directly tweaking the registry or using a front-end such as [USER=32260]@Andy Ful[/USER]'s Hard Configurator. However, just because hidden, non-exposed settings are tweakable does not mean that Microsoft wants people changing from the default settings. In fact, I would argue that since Microsoft deliberately does not make documentation or provide other information on these types of things, that implicitly means that Microsoft does not want you using any settings other than what it has made available via the GUI or other GUI-based controls. Furthermore, as proof, if you try to get support for registry tweaks from the official Microsoft support options, they will tell you that Microsoft does not officially support such tweaks made by a home user. What the article discusses is for Windows Defender ATP. They are clearly talking to IT Pros and not home users. And yes, Windows Defender ATP is a paid subscription. Even if you are a home user you cannot get an ATP subscription even if you are willing to pay. [/QUOTE]
