    MSE for Windows 7 protect directories/files against Ransomware?


    Over the last update of Windows 10 ( Fall Creators Update) it seems possible to protect users directories and files against Ransomware.


    Why this functionality is not available over the MSE program settings on Windows 7 ?


    Or if it is how to enable it ?


    Vincent.

    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!
