About this tag
The runtime integrity tag on WindowsForum.com covers discussions about Windows 11's shift toward a secure-by-default posture, particularly through Windows Baseline Security Mode (BSM) and User Transparency and Consent (UTC). These features enforce runtime integrity by blocking unsigned or improperly signed apps, services, and drivers unless explicitly approved, and introduce mobile-style permission prompts for sensitive resources like camera, microphone, and files. Threads highlight how these measures, part of Microsoft's Secure Future Initiative, aim to reduce attack surface and improve user control over software execution. The tag is relevant for users interested in Windows security hardening, default-deny policies, and modern runtime protection mechanisms.
