Microsoft will implement a function that will turn Windows into a safer operating system. The most recent update will request the user’s authorization to raise the permits of an unsigned application. Technology seeks to prevent non -reliable applications from getting access to make changes to your computer.
According to A publication in the Windows blog, The most recent version of Windows 11 Insider includes a function that protects our PC. The Compilation 27774available on the Canary Canal, implements the Administrator protectiona characteristic to safeguard privileged access to the operating system. This function will ask for the user password before granting high permissions to an application.
Administrator protection It can be enabled from Windows security settingsclicking on the account protection tab. Once active, the system will show an emerging window requesting the password of the local administrator account. Microsoft points out that this message is activated with non -reliable and not signed applications.
The function It is similar to User Accounts Control (UAC), A feature designed to avoid unauthorized changes in Windows. This is activated when an action requires permissions at the administrator level and shows an emerging window requesting the user to approve or deny the change. Unlike the UAC, the protection of the administrator that will arrive in the next Windows 11 update requires typing the password.
The changes are part of The Windows Resilience Initiativea Microsoft strategy to shield the operating system. Administrator protection was shown for the first time during the Ignite 2024 conference as A solution for end users and business clients. Microsoft wants to make sure that it is you who authorizes the changes, so you should use your authentication via Windows Hello.
The good news is that This feature will also be offered in the most basic version of Windows 11. The Home Edition is usually the least fortunate in terms of administrative and security tools, but that will not happen with the protection for administrator.
Administrator protection is available in Windows 11 Insider 27774 compilation. Those interested in accessing it must register in the Insider program and choose the Canary channel to be able to install it as a system update. It is worth mentioning that this Windows compilation is a preliminary version and could include errors, so if you install it it will be at your own risk.
