About this tag
Windows Baseline Security Mode (BSM) is a new security feature in Windows 11 that enforces a secure-by-default desktop by restricting runtime execution to verified binaries. It works alongside User Transparency and Consent, which introduces smartphone-style permission prompts for sensitive resources like the camera, microphone, and files. This combination aims to reduce attack surface and improve user control over app behavior.

The feature represents Microsoft's shift toward a consent-first approach, making Windows 11 more resilient against unauthorized code execution.
