    About the "Controlled Folder Access" in windows defender...


    Although not that important, I noticed that when you open Winders Defender, and then click on Virus and threat protection settings, and then scroll down to controlled folder access,..

    It states, " Protect your files and folders from unauthorized CHANGED by unfriendly applications "


    I think the D in changed, is supposed to be an S. Should be Changes !

    :)

    meltdown patch

    Windows Defender is compatible. If having trouble with the update disable the controlled folder access in Defender.

    I had no problems installing the patch. I do not use the controlled folder access though.

    Mine doesn't, it says: "...from unauthorised changed...."
    ('s' instead of 'z', at least they got the UK spelling right *Biggrin )

    On a related note, the date format used by the Defender Security Centre is now correct for my region, in 1703 it used the US mm/dd/yyyy for everyone, regardless of regional settings.
