[QUOTE="bellgamin, post: 1012756, member: 56053"] Bascially, Smart App Contol (SAC) blocks all app downloads except those from Microsoft Store, and blocks all browsers except Microsoft Edge. Goood grief!!! IMO, SAC sounds like an idea produced by Microsoft's marketing department. SAC should be re-named as : "Maximize Microsoft's Monopoly." To me, saying that "once SAC is disabled, you won't be able to get it back" is a PROMISE, not a threat. It's like saying, "If you ever were healed from the Flu (influenza) you will never get it again." Anyone can identify & avoid risky apps without Microsoft doing it for you (or should I say, "doing it TO you"). The principle of "identifying & avoiding risky apps" can even be taught to youngsters. I have done so, long before Microsoft ever came up with SAC. [/QUOTE]
