# App and browser control
**Applies to**
- Windows 10, version 1703 and later
The **App and browser control** section contains information and settings for Windows Defender SmartScreen. IT administrators and IT pros can get configuration guidance from the [Windows Defender SmartScreen documentation library](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/threat-protection/windows-defender-smartscreen/windows-defender-smartscreen-overview).
In Windows 10, version 1709 and later, the section also provides configuration options for Exploit protection. You can prevent users from modifying these specific options with Group Policy. IT administrators can get more information at the [Exploit protection](../windows-defender-exploit-guard/exploit-protection.md) topic in the Windows Defender Exploit Guard library.

You can also choose to hide the section from users of the machine. This can be useful if you don't want employees in your organization to see or have access to user-configured options for the features shown in the section.
