Windows Smart App Control is an app that adds additional protection to your computer by blocking apps that are untrusted, unwanted or malicious. Smart App Control will block apps that have unexpected effects such as offering extra software, displaying unwanted ads, or slowing down your device.
Note: Windows 11 Smart App Control only runs on the 22H2 build, so you may need to update to the latest version.
How to turn on Smart App Control
- Click on Start ⊞ and type Smart App Control and select Smart App Control system settings from the results.

Turning off Smart App Control
You can disable Smart App Control to turn it off. However, you will not be able to enable it again without reinstalling the Windows 11 22H2 update.
