How to Confirm Exploit Protection is Enabled

This feature is automatically enabled for all Windows 10 PCs. However, it can also be switched to “Audit mode”, allowing system administrators to monitor a log of what Exploit Protection would have done to confirm it won’t cause any problems before enabling it on critical PCs.

To confirm that this feature is enabled, you can open the Windows Defender Security Center. Open your Start menu, search for Windows Defender, and click the Windows Defender Security Center shortcut.
