    Say goodbye to ransomware with Windows 10 Fall Creators Update

    Yes, ransomware will be a thing of the past with Windows 10 Fall Creators Update thanks to something called "Controlled Folder Access" in Windows Defender.

    Windows 10 will hide your important files from ransomware soon | The Verge

    These are protections for your files against ransomware at the kernel and Windows Defender level. Rest easy, your files are safe.

    About damn time Microsoft!
