[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 97327, post: 1010779"] My wife's laptop came with Windows11, I bought Office 2019 license (license only for 30 euro's), so it would be easy for me to help her with settings (I also have Office 2019 on my Windows 10 Pro). To be honest as a Windows10 user I found some options easier to find and configure than with Windows 10. Like [USER=74969]@plat[/USER] I am sticking to Windows10 until 2025, but that is not out of dislike, but just because of hardware upgrade limitations. Being a happy Windows Defender Application Control user on Windows10 Pro since end of 2019, I am curious how Smart App Control pans out in Windows11 Home. I am [USER=52096]@Gandalf_The_Grey[/USER] thankful for posting his experience and efforts in enabling SAC on Windows 11 (I am sure more MT-members are following your SAC journey with interest, so maybe make it a separate thread?). I am still a bit confused why Gandalf's laptop kept SAC in evaluation mode. I hope Microsoft is collecting telemetry data to prevent SAC from blocking critical software. Anyone else some info on this? Because my wife has an AMD laptop, I am waiting until Microsoft starts pushing out the updates through the Windows update mechanism. AMD and Win11 did not start of well, so for me the 'once bitten, twice shy' applies. I was hoping Microsoft would turn on SAC automatically, but it seems that I have to buy another Office license again after the clean install required for SAC. [/QUOTE]
