The security versus control tag on WindowsForum.com captures discussions about the trade-offs between system security and user autonomy in Windows 11. Tagged content explores how forced updates, hardware compatibility requirements, and community tooling reflect a broader friction between platform evolution and user expectations. The tag covers debates on whether Microsoft's security measures, such as TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot, come at the cost of user control over their own systems.
