Windows 11 22H2
Hi all, I just installed Windows 11 20H2 a while ago and SAC should be in evaluation mode by default, but I have it disabled. Is there any way to fix this without having to reinstall Windows 11 again from scratch? Thank you all very much in advance. Regards.

Can anyone think of a solution? Because it seems incredible what Microsoft does and their bugs. It can't be that in a clean install I have SAC disabled by default.

I did another clean install and at first SAC was in evaluation mode and after configuring everything again it is disabled by default. I don't understand this anymore. I already reported it to MS on insiders, I hope they resolve it. By the way, does anyone know any method that is via Powershell or another application to enable SAC? Thank you very much.

If SAC determines that it cannot be of any help, then that is default behaviour.

Microsoft said:
While SAC is in evaluation mode, it will learn if it can help protect you without getting in your way too much. If so, it will automatically be turned on. Otherwise, it will automatically be turned off.

I already proposed a change in favor of users in the Microsoft insiders Feedback. Instead of the supposed artificial intelligence of Windows deciding for us users, let the user decide whether to enable it, put it in evaluation mode or disable it.
