+Available in Windows Update for Business (WUfB) devices running Windows 10, version 1809 and above and installed with October 2020 security update. This policy setting specifies that a WUfB device should skip safeguards.
+
+Safeguard holds prevent a device with a known compatibility issue from being offered a new OS version. The offering will proceed once a fix is issued and is verified on a held device. The aim of safeguards is to protect the device and user from a failed or poor upgrade experience.
+
+The safeguard holds protection is provided by default to all the devices trying to update to a new Windows 10 Feature Update version via Windows Update.
+
+IT admins can, if necessary, opt devices out of safeguard protections using this policy setting or via the “Disable safeguards for Feature Updates” Group Policy.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> Opting out of the safeguards can put devices at risk from known performance issues. We recommend opting out only in an IT environment for validation purposes. Further, you can leverage the Windows Insider Program for Business Release Preview Channel in order to validate the upcoming Windows 10 Feature Update version without the safeguards being applied.
+>
+> The disable safeguards policy will revert to “Not Configured” on a device after moving to a new Windows 10 version, even if previously enabled. This ensures the admin is consciously disabling Microsoft’s default protection from known issues for each new feature update.
+>
+> Disabling safeguards does not guarantee your device will be able to successfully update. The update may still fail on the device and will likely result in a bad experience post upgrade as you are bypassing the protection given by Microsoft pertaining to known issues.

+# Microsoft recommended driver block rules
+
+**Applies to:**
+
+- Windows 10
+- Windows Server 2016 and above
+
+Microsoft has strict requirements for code running in kernel. Consequently, malicious actors are turning to exploit vulnerabilities in legitimate and signed kernel drivers to run malware in kernel. One of the many strengths of the Windows platform is our strong collaboration with independent hardware vendors (IHVs) and OEMs. Microsoft works closely with our IHVs and security community to ensure the highest level of driver security for our customers and when vulnerabilities in drivers do arise, that they are patched and rolled out to the ecosystem in an expedited manner. Microsoft then adds the vulnerable versions of the drivers to our ecosystem block policy which is applied to the following sets of devices:
+
+- Hypervisor-protected code integrity (HVCI) enabled devices
+- Windows 10 in S mode (S mode) devices
+
+Microsoft recommends enabling [HVCI](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/security/threat-protection/device-guard/enable-virtualization-based-protection-of-code-integrity) or S mode to protect your devices against security threats. If this is not possible, Microsoft recommends blocking the following list of drivers by merging this policy with your existing Windows Defender Application Control policy. Blocking kernel drivers without sufficient testing can result in devices or software to malfunction, and in rare cases, blue screen. It is recommended to first validate this policy in [audit mode](audit-windows-defender-application-control-policies.md) and review the audit block events.
+
+> [!Note]
+> This application list will be updated with the latest vendor information as application vulnerabilities are resolved and new issues are discovered. It is recommended that this policy be first validated in audit mode before rolling the rules into enforcement mode.
