Windows 10 S Mode, Microsoft's Way to Provide High Level Security to Users

NESABAMEDIA.COM – Microsoft Windows 10 S Mode has been installed on a number of laptop devices and has been widely marketed. Unfortunately, many users who don’t understand Windows 10 S Mode then complain, because they can’t install third-party anti-viruses such as Kaspersky, Norton and the like.

Users then ask if that way they can’t install third-party anti-virus, and can the security of their devices be guaranteed?

The idea behind Windows 10 S Mode is a Windows operating system, where Microsoft very strictly limits the applications that can be installed on the user’s device. Applications that can be installed are applications that are already in the Microsoft Store and have been verified by them. Even to surf the internet, the only browser that can be used is the Microsoft Edge browser.

Windows 10 S Mode is designed in such a way as to be able to provide an experience using a computer device with the highest level of security, while still providing an experience like Windows 10 in general.

In terms of security protection, the best idea is indeed to install an anti-virus application on the device. But in Windows 10 S Mode, the only anti-virus that can really be used is Microsoft’s own, namely Windows Defender Security Center. This means there are no names Norton, Kaspersky, McAfee, Malwarebytes or others, other than those in the Microsoft Store.

Depending on the user’s needs, this operating system is perfect for protecting users from all cyber threats, without having to be confused about which program is safe for the device.

In general, Windows 10 S Mode is more intended for use by company employees whose needs are very limited only for work problems. Or users who are still very new to using computers or laptops. While general users are not recommended to use this operating system, because everything becomes very limited.

However, that does not mean there is no solution for those who have already purchased a device with the Windows 10 S Mode operating system installed. Users can still switch to other Windows 10 operating systems. However, it should be noted that after switching from S Mode, the user cannot come back again.
