When you click edit there are lots of options listed there and none of those should be changed without knowing the consequences of editing them. If you select a program, you can either edit or remove it. If you click on the Program Settings link at the top of the page, you will see a bunch of programs listed. All the System settings are turned on by default and you should leave all the settings in this section to their default values. You can look at them by clicking the blue Exploit protection settings hyperlink. There are several exploit protection settings for your system and programs. If you download any store apps from Microsoft, Windows Defender offers some protection by checking the Web content that the apps use. I do not recommend Edge to anyone at this time for a whole lot of reasons which are off topic for this article. This setting is really not useful for most users because Edge is a limited browser (think of it as a mini version of Internet Explorer). The App and browser control is configured by default to warn you if the there is a problem with unknown apps or files on the Web, issues with sites you access or the files you downloads in Microsoft Edge (other browsers are not monitored). There are no configuration options here, based on the status displayed in this area, you may have to take certain actions. You can click on each of the blue hyperlink for domain, private and public network to see more details. The Firewall and network protection ensures that your Windows Firewall is enabled and protecting your computer. If everything is fine you will see a green check mark next to each item, otherwise you will have to take appropriate actions based on the issue. The Device performance and health gives you a health report, which includes the status of Windows Update, Storage capacity, Device driver, and Battery life. Therefore, your screen may look different than what you see below. NOTE: Future Windows 10 versions and OS builds may include additional categories, the names may change, and the categories may be consolidated in a different way in Windows Defender Security Center. That’s the area you will visit most frequently and contains some options that may need customization. Then I will focus on the Virus & threat protection. In this article, first I will go through the last four sections in Windows Defender that don’t usually need any configuration changes and you can simply accept the default options.
