Windows 10 is rated as a security version and high stability. To promote the security effect on Windows 10, we have to make a few manual settings shared in the article below!
1. Set up BitLocker for the drive
BitLocker is a hard drive encryption method that helps us protect our computer from unauthorized intruders. When activating the BitLocker protection layer on any drive, we must enter a password protection to have access to that drive. We should put BitLocker encryption on drives with many important documents to ensure they are safe.
2. Update Windows regularly with Windows Update
We regularly check for Windows updates because Windows updates will help us patch the remaining security holes on the system. In addition, the updates also help our computers operate stably and encounter fewer errors arising during use.
3. Set User Account Control
User Account Control ( UAC for short ) is a message that pops up when we install or open software that tries to change settings on our computer. This feature is quite inconvenient because they automatically pop-up asking whether we should open the software or not.
4. Set Windows Hello, PIN, password by image
An interesting feature on Windows 10 is the Windows Hello feature. Windows Hello is available with laptops with advanced security features such as Fingerprint, Face Recognition, etc. If our device does not support Windows Hello, we can set it set up advanced security like PIN, regular password, picture password.
5. Periodically scan for viruses with Windows Defender
If we do not have the conditions to buy anti-virus software licenses, then Windows Defender is more than enough for our needs. However, we should conduct a full system scan (Full scan) to detect the dangers that exist in the system.
