Windows 10 is by far the most popular operating system for computers, and that makes Microsoft one of the groups that controls a large part of the experience that people have when using PCs. A new update for Windows 10 was released by Microsoft recently, and within its framework the company decided to make a secret change that aims to protect users from all over the world.
Windows 10 has been eliminated by the Microsoft company a functionality that could have given people all over the world a lot of trouble, and this in the conditions in which it was initially thought of as a good measure. Those from Microsoft have come to the conclusion that the function that allows downloading files through Windows Defender can also bring malware to users' PCs, so they decided to completely eliminate this functionality in the latest update for Windows 10.
Windows 10: The SECRET change that users did NOT know about
Windows 10 it no longer lets people download Windows Defender files from anywhere on the Internet, and Microsoft is convinced that this will make its operating system much more secure for the future. When the problem was discovered by various computer security researchers, those from Microsoft said that although Windows Defender can download malware in Windows 10, it should still recognize it and block it immediately to protect users.
"With the release of version 4.18.2009.2-0 of the Windows Defender Antimalware client yesterday, BleepingComptuer discovered that Microsoft has once again quietly changed the features of MpCmdRun.exe. This time, Microsoft has removed the ability to download files through the utility MpCmdRun.exe command line. Users trying to download a file using MpCmdRun.exe will get an error stating "CmdTool: invalid command line argument". The command-line option -DownloadFile has already been removed from the help screen."
Windows 10 it didn't really do that for many, so in the end Microsoft made the decision to remove that functionality in order not to generate unwanted problems for people, as happened with many updates released in the past. This makes Windows 10 an operating system that remains with a lot of problems, and from here come a lot of questions about what Microsoft should actually offer for its customers around the world to keep them safe.
Windows 10 will have the October 2020 Update released next month itself, and this will bring very interesting changes for users that everyone will be able to enjoy, including this modification designed to protect them.
