  • You can enable Data Persistence for Microsoft Edge in Application Guard using Group Policy. To enable it, close all Microsoft Edge windows and update the Windows Components > Windows Defender Application Guard.

  • Starting with this build you can now audit, configure, and manage Windows system and application exploit mitigation settings right from the Windows Defender Security Center! You don’t need to be using Windows Defender Antivirus to take advantage of these settings.

  • In this build, it's now easier for you to protect valuable data from malicious apps and threats, such as ransomware. To enable the feature, search for and open the Windows Defender Security Center from Start. Then go to the 'Virus & threat protection' settings section and set the switch to ON.
