Windows 11 users have recently been greeted with favorable news: Microsoft has relaxed the activation prerequisites for its exclusive performance-boosting feature, ‘Smart App Control’ (SAC), thereby eliminating the necessity for a cumbersome clean system installation to activate this functionality. Previously, enabling SAC necessitated a clean system installation, a requirement that significantly restricted the user experience. Now, users have the flexibility to enable or disable SAC at their convenience within the Windows Security Center, thereby enjoying a more streamlined and convenient security protection mechanism.
