I’m confused. I run Windows Defender, and ever since I updated from Internet Explorer to Microsoft Edge, it wants me to enable “App and Browser Control”. What is it, why should I enable it, and do you have it turned on for your PC, Dave?
I have a new Windows 11 computer that I share with my son. He tends to be quite curious about the Internet and I worry the system will end up being infected with malware. Worse, I fear ransomware attacks as it also contains lots of important work files. How can I protect my Win11 system from ransomware?
I often use my computer in public spaces and sometimes I walk away to take a phone call or similar without remembering to lock the PC. Is there any way to automatically lock it when I’m not in front of the screen?
I’m worried that a new program I installed on my Windows PC has access to my photo and picture library without me having to grant permission. Is that possible? And how can I check to see if it can get to my Pictures?
I came home the other day to find my son’s friend playing a computer game on my PC. Yes, it’s in the kitchen, but I was pretty alarmed: they could have accidentally deleted all my work! How can I require a password on wake so they can’t use my computer in the future?
My husband and I are both frustrated by the constant password prompts on our Windows 10 computer. Is there some way to disable it entirely so the computer’s always ready to use?
I have a folder that I’d like to hide from other users on my Windows PC computer. Is there an easy way to do that? We’re running Windows 10.1.
When my Dad uses my Windows system, he seems to end up installing random programs. Which are sometimes benign, but other times are malware. How can I stop third-party app installs and limit the computer to just programs from the Microsoft Store?
