Win10 Security Plus Portable

While Windows 10 is said to have dealt with some features that were making the operating system vulnerable, such as lack of malware protection, drive encryption or unsafe file and share permissions, Microsoft still needs to put in some work before the OS reaches an acceptable level of security as expected today.

Win10 Security Plus Portable is a tiny program that enables you further tweak your system and increase the overall security by disabling several features that continue to make Windows vulnerable to hackers.

Since this is a portable application, the setup can be summarized to decompressing the archive and accessing the executable corresponding to your operating system. The interface consists of a small window that displays a list of features that you can enable or disable.

While a user would have no trouble figuring out whether a function activates or deactivates an option in Window, it would have been nice if they were organized in categories. If you are looking for a particular function, then you might have to waste some time to find what you are looking for.

It is important to note that disabling weak features is as simple as it gets and entails checking or unchecking the features from the list you are presented with. You should take note that the changes will be applied as soon as you reboot your computer.

Unfortunately, the application does not come with a help section or a tutorial that provides you with some details about the features you are about to disable. What is worse is that once disabled, you cannot revert the changes and you might be forced to reinstall your operating system in case your changes had a negative impact on Windows' functionality.

In spite of the fact that it is not exactly user-friendly, the application can be a useful tool that allows you to customize and takes your Windows' security up a notch.
