Microsoft Tamper Protection activates it for everyone

Microsoft unveiled a new security feature called Tamper Protection as part of Windows Defender Antivirus, the December of 2018.

Tamper Protection, as the name implies, protects certain security features from tampering. One of the drawbacks of Tamper Protection is that it prevents changes to settings made outside the official Windows 10 Settings application.

So if some attackers try to disable your operating system protections in real time or some security features Tamper Protection is designed to prevent them.

Microsoft didn't say much about this feature when it released 2018 in December, but a new post on blog the company says the security feature is also available on all Windows 10 Home installations running the current update of Windows 10 (1903).

Before, Tamper Protection was only available for businesses, but it seems Microsoft decided to make it available on all Home systems as well.

We should mention that the Tamper Protection function protects in real time the your from the cloud, detecting suspicious files, monitoring every behavior and security updates, among other things, according to Microsoft.

Microsoft corporate clients can configure Tamper Protection through Microsoft Intune. Home Edition users can find the setting in the Windows 10 security application.

Microsoft says this feature evolves across systems over time. So there are some users who can see the news , while others may not see it yet.

To enable or disable the new feature in Home versions of Windows 10:

Make sure the version of your operating system is Windows 10 1903 or some later version.
Use the two Windows I keys to open the Settings application.
Select Update & Security - Windows Security.
