Administrator protection on Windows 11

Enhance your organization’s Windows security with Administrator protection through Windows Hello. Available to Windows Insiders first, it will verify your identity before allowing any action that requires administrator privileges. This minimizes the risk of the user making a system-level change by mistake. Additionally, it helps prevent malware from making silent changes to the system without the user knowing. You can configure Administrator protection using Group Policy, through the settings catalog in Microsoft Intune, or with other tools coming soon.
