Uhh, they know there's security issue yet they pushed ahead. Wat.

Sounds like big boss man is giving them stupid deadline and they're forced to push stuff out asap. Whoever work at MS Defender is gonna be disappointed.

Other than the malware that is Windows 11 ?

Before Windows 11 only users and hackers could install malware on your PC. Now you do not need to bother at all - your system will destroy itself for you.

As these capabilities are introduced, AI models still face functional limitations in terms of how they behave and occasionally may hallucinate and produce unexpected outputs. Additionally, agentic AI applications introduce novel security risks, such as cross-prompt injection (XPIA), where malicious content embedded in UI elements or documents can override agent instructions, leading to unintended actions like data exfiltration or malware installation.

What the F... Indeed...

Sounds like a logical upgrade from current Windows 11 automatically installing malware in the form of Windows 11 updates.

Seems like every day that passes by, Microsoft gives me one more reason why I’m glad I made the switch.

Haven’t used Windows in my home in over 3 months now!
