Why Windows let me to enable Smart App Control while Optional Diagnostic Data was Turned OFF?
Click to expand...
It just does, but they don't recommend it. They advise enabling ODD and let SAC run in evaluation mode.
Can I turn Smart App Control on manually?
Yes, if it's available for your device, but we recommend you let evaluation mode do its job and determine if you're a good candidate for Smart App Control

What is Smart App Control? - Microsoft Support
 
No one have access to my desktop pc so password login is useless. AM I wrong?
If pc is infected/compromised how 3rd party password manager would help? At the moment you unlock it to login in site A, B or C, all saved passwords are compromised...and cookie stealers? BTW my important passwords are not saved in password manager. I remember them.
15 + years - zero infections. Maybe I'm too confident :D

I'm curious about SAC.
