Windows 10: Exploit protection settings

1. I do not understand the "System settings" options under EXPLOIT PROTECTION in Windows Defender set up section.

What does "Use default on vs. "On by default mean?

What is the safest?

2, What is SEHOP?

What is "heap integrity"

What is "High-entropy ASLR ??????????????

I don't know what this is so I don't know how to set it up.

Exploit Protection Settings

The Exploit Protection settings are preconfigured; and home users should generally just leave them alone:



The Use default configuration for each of the mitigation settings indicates our recommendation for a base level of protection for everyday usage for home users. Enterprise deployments should consider the protection required for
their individual needs and may need to modify configuration away from the defaults.

The preconfigured applications have been optimized by Microsoft – and adding customizations for other apps requires both a rationale and an understanding of the potential consequences, since haphazardly changing the default settings for an app can
easily render it dysfunctional.



It’s ironic that these application mitigations are exposed in the Windows Defender Security Center interface, while the safe and simple Windows Defender configuration options are only available via the PowerShell Set-MpPreference command line:

The Set-MpPreference cmdlet now also includes the parameters for Attack Surface Reduction and Block at First Sight:

Exploit Protection Settings

Open Windows Defender Security Center and click on
App & browser control and there find Exploit protection settings
and you could change settings for Exploit protection from there.

How or where can I find a clear explanation/description of the correct at least what the default settings are for my Windows Defender Exploit Protection. I do not know enough to know what is wrong but something is not right. If I had a guide/roadmap
of how the settings should be correctly configured for protecting my home computer it would be a great help.
