[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 1005142, member: 32260"] In my tests, WDAC + ISG on Windows 10 worked slightly differently from SAC on Windows 11. I made my tests with SAC in Windows Insider. For example, Hard_Configurator was blocked by ISG but allowed by SAC and Defender ASR rules. SAC also allowed the installation of signed applications and then some of them were partially blocked on execution (DLL blocking). When using WDAC + ISG on Windows 10 you can still see the SmartScreen alert. On Windows 11 with SAC set to ON, there is no SmartScreen alert, but files that would be blocked by SmartScreen on Windows 10 are now blocked by SAC. I think that more tests must be done. It is also possible that WDAC on Windows 11 could get some new features. [/QUOTE]
