00:00Peace, mercy, and blessings of God be upon you. Welcome to a new explanation on the free education blog. In this explanation, we will learn about a very important feature, which is...
00:08Smart App Control: This feature allows you to control downloads to some extent, as well as programs and applications.
00:18Which you want to install on Windows. Let's assume you downloaded a program from an unknown source and came to install it this way, or even
00:27Open it without installing it, and the tool will appear with its name.
00:30Smart App Control tells you that this application has been blocked because it is unsafe or because it might... (meaning perhaps)
00:38It's possible that there's unwanted software, which isn't necessarily unsafe; Windows might not recognize the publisher or...
00:49Its publisher is blocked. How do you enable and disable this option, and can it be enabled and disabled on Windows? First, this option is
00:57Its name is Smart Up Control and it's located inside
00:59Windows Security can be opened from here, or Windows Defender, or if you don't find it in that icon, then...
01:06In the Windows search box, simply type "Windows Security" and the Windows Security icon will appear; open it.
01:13After opening it like this, you will wait a little while until all the settings appear, and you will find that you can open the feature through
01:22Two places here, the father
01:24And Browser Control, or from here on the left side you will also find App and Browser Control; choose what suits you.
01:32for you
01:32To open it, we press the same methods, and then here you will come to Smart App Control Settings, or the settings for this application.
01:40The answer is forgiveness
01:41Here, On is interactive; if you want to give it permission to open the programs you want to install, it will do as you please.
01:49I said either she would ban Malicious Apps or now Trusted Apps
01:54Malicious apps are now trusted, meaning you don't know them and can't rely on them.
01:59If you want to disable it, click OFF here and then select Yes. It will now be disabled.
02:04What was happening with this property? Before that, let me just open the file and see if it opens now.
02:13He will now give a cran, meaning I can open it.
02:16A long time ago, Microsoft would have been able to do this if you turned off or disabled this feature, or Smart App Control.
02:24It was preventing you from reactivating it, meaning it's now OFF and I can't reactivate it.
02:32But now you can reactivate it; previously, if you wanted to reactivate it, it would appear like this.
02:39It's faded and I can't turn it ON, but now you can turn it OFF.
02:45You can turn it ON again and activate it now; that's complete freedom.
02:50You can activate or deactivate it as you wish, but you must have downloaded this setting, which I will explain to you shortly.
02:57Because it is responsible for successfully activating and disabling this tool on Windows 11.
03:03All of this is not available in Windows 11.
03:08The tool is available in Windows 10, but if you disable it, you must enable it using other code through the Registry Editor.
03:14If you go to Windows Update, make sure you have checked for updates and downloaded all Microsoft security patches.
03:22Then go to Update History from here
03:26Then inside it you will find, just scroll down a little and something called Definition Update
03:33In Definition Update, this is the setting responsible for this new service or feature that allows you to disable and enable it.
03:45Or this tool blocks unwanted, malicious, or deceptive applications from opening the application.
03:56on your computer
03:57To give you an idea and to begin with, this tool is important to us; the tool provides results, but it's not 100% conclusive.
04:05You might download a program that's 100% safe, but when you try to install it, the tool will appear and tell you that this application...
04:14insecure
04:15So how can I be sure? You can either rely on external scanning tools that you upload to a website and scan it; make sure of that.
04:22He is safe
04:23Or you've verified its source and that it's safe, but the tool is blocking it, so you can disable it this way by turning it off until it stops working.
04:33Open the program or install it, then reactivate the tool.
04:37So, this was a summary of this tool and its advantages, as well as the disadvantages that may come with it, because, as I say, its results are not always conclusive.
04:46100% accurate
04:47So, that's all for today. I hope this video was helpful to you.
04:51Until we meet again, God willing, on the Free Education Blog. Peace and God's mercy be upon you.
