Microsoft has introduced an updated security feature for Windows 11 users, simplifying the admin protection process. The new update allows account administrators to enable admin protection directly from the Windows Security settings under the Account Protection tab without requiring IT support intervention. This change is significant because it reduces the attack surface by ensuring elevated permissions are only granted on a just-in-time basis and revoked afterward.
Davey Winder, a technology journalist covering cybersecurity news, notes that this update addresses concerns about system-level activities’ security while maintaining usability for everyday tasks.
