Beginner's guide to Windows Security on Windows 11 and 10

Windows Security home.

On Windows 11 (and 10), the "Windows Security" app provides a user-friendly interface and tools to manage common security features. For example, the experience includes the Microsoft Defender Antivirus, which offers real-time protection for your computer and data against viruses and many other kinds of malware.

You can also manage the Microsoft Defender Firewall to block intruders from sneaking in. With the account protection settings, you can monitor the device's performance and health, as well as your account and sign-in information, and you can access even more advanced features to keep everything a little more secure.
