Here’s how you can enable or disable Smart App Control.
Microsoft promised we’d be able to toggle it freely after the latest update. But when I checked, the option was still grayed out.
Smart App Control, or SAC, is Windows 11’s built‑in security bouncer. It blocks unsigned or risky apps using Microsoft’s cloud intelligence. The catch? Once you turn it off, you usually can’t turn it back on without reinstalling Windows. That’s why gamers and power users feel stuck.

Click Windows Security then App & Browser Control.
Select Smart App Control.
If the toggle is locked, you’re not alone. Either the rollout isn’t complete, or there’s a bug.
