    Well its good news, BUT I would have thought an email to all subscribers saying that a fault has been identified, a solution should be available within X weeks after extensive testing.

    This would show that we are valued as customers, and we have an organisation that updates their clients, because they are valuable, which we are. Just leaving a known issue that causes anxiety to so many with no assistance or even acknowledgement of it is poor service. Microsoft could better I am sure. Engage with your client base would be a good start.

    "enable greyed-out Microsoft Vulnerable Driver Blocklist which is shown as Security Alert in Taskbar"

    There is no such option on my taskbar. The only thing close is: "Check for protection updates", "View security dashboard".

    Hi, I would love to know how many people are unaware their security could be compromised by Microsoft's intention to do nothing about this error.

    Would we be right in believing that they simply do not care about their vulnerable customers?
