[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 95367, post: 1004783"] It is not yet available via Windows Update; it is only tentatively scheduled for release. And knowing how Microsoft does things, it will likely include SAC with basic improvements in that forthcoming W11 22H2 release, but SAC will still be a work-in-progress product with limited features, bugs and who-knows-what-blemishes. More than a few will decry SAC as half-baked in its current state, if not unusable. Who knows, Microsoft could pull SAC from the release or just release it in its current state. One never knows what the Big M will do. I do know they are hyping SAC a bit, so it will be picked-apart and serious flaws will get lambasted in the security news community. Disappointment with Windows is first and foremost directly proportional to one's expectations; if you expect Microsoft to pump out a refined & polished feature, then you're very likely to be disappointed. I'll be properly ecstatic if SAC works - and Microsoft designs SAC to block files and processes from USB FAT drives and network area storage. My instinct tells me SAC is gonna follow the absurd Mark-of-the-Web (MotW) system of automatically allowing files from such drives. [/QUOTE]
