Microsoft is introducing "User Transparency and Consent" and a "Windows Baseline Security Mode" in Windows 11, bringing smartphone-like permission prompts for sensitive resources and default runtime integrity safeguards (with admin/user overrides), in a phased rollout under the Secure Future Initiative informed by CSRB criticism after the Storm-0558 breach; the effort also tightens Entra ID sign-ins, disables ActiveX in Microsoft 365/Office 2024, and updates Microsoft 365 security defaults to curb legacy-auth risks, aiming to improve transparency, privacy, and control for users and IT.
