Microsoft to Add Sysmon Threat Detection Feature Natively to Windows 11

Microsoft announced that Sysmon has been integrated natively into Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 26300.7733 (KB5074178). The native Sysmon retains core logging capabilities (process creation, network connections, file time changes) and writes to the Windows Event Log, is disabled by default, can be enabled via Settings or DISM/PowerShell and requires uninstalling the legacy Sysmon to avoid conflicts; the update also includes unrelated stability and File Explorer fixes.
