I'd never heard of that. I'd never heard of ransomware
protection. I recently set up a new computer with dual boot
of Win10 and 11, but never noticed anything about RP. Odd.
But when I install a system I imediately set about cleaning it
up, so maybe that's why.
Looking now at my 1 year old Win10 22H2, there's no mention
of RP in the lower catacombs of the ridiculous Settings app.
I guess it must be new. A page online says it should be listed
there.
These convoluted settings, intertwined with control panel,
are even more confusing with Win11, since MS have shuffled
everything around.
Settings -> Udates and Security -> Windows Security ->
Open Windows Security. If I had MP that would be yet
another step. Why? MS don't make a cellphone OS, yet they
seem to be trying to design Windows GUI for a cellphone. Big,
gaint, empty windows with little functionality, and lots of
slide controls. Maybe there's something they're not telling us.
