Microsoft releases Windows Defender Hub

Windows defender hub

Windows Defender can help keep Windows 10 safe from threats, and run as a second line of defense alongside any existing security software you have installed.

Microsoft has added various new elements to the program in the Anniversary Update, including Limited Periodic Scanning and Block at First Sight protection. There’s now a new Windows Defender Hub available to download in the Windows Store.

Windows Defender Hub basically provides you with an easy way to open Windows Defender (click the button and the front end for the software will appear immediately), and in addition to that the Hub provides security tips, information on how to get the most from Windows Defender, and security news.

Click on any story, and it will open directly in the Hub -- rather than opening a page in your browser.

It’s a little disappointing that you can’t do more with the Hub, such as configure Windows Defender settings, but maybe this will come in a future update.

You can download it here.
