sysmon inbox feature

About this tag
The sysmon inbox feature tag covers Microsoft's integration of Sysmon, the Sysinternals system monitoring tool, as an optional inbox feature in Windows 11. This change, first appearing in Insider Preview builds and later in the KB5077241 preview update, allows Sysmon to be installed via Settings or DISM rather than as a separate download. The feature is disabled by default and uses the familiar sysmon command-line interface. Discussions highlight its significance for IT and security operations, enabling easier deployment of host telemetry and monitoring at scale. The tag also relates to broader Windows 11 updates, including the March 2026 Patch Tuesday and other practical enhancements.
