I have spotted a mistake in Windows Defender Security Centre. I am running Windows 10 Home build 16299.
When you go into Windows Security Centre and click on Virus & threat protection settings, (on my PC) there appears to be a typo, under Controlled folder access. On my PS it says 'Protect your files and folders from unauthorised changed by unfriendly apps' whereas it should be 'Protect your files and folders from unauthorised changes by unfriendly apps'. It just shows that they don't take time to check every detail on their OS like other OS developers do. Here is a screenshot showing what it says if you don't believe me.

Having a typo isn't exact that big of a deal considering Windows 10 is 50 million+ lines of code. Linux kernel code is only 15 million.
