Cyber Security for PC Gamers

Introduction

The other day there was a lot of focus on “ATLASOS” a rather oddly branded project, just to be clear:

ATLASOS (at the time of writing) disables basically the majority of Windows Security features including:

  • Defender
  • Smart Screen
  • Windows Update
  • Spectre/Meltdown Mitigations

Basically, if you can think of “nightmare” in the cyber world, ATLASOS’s security posture is basically that (in my opinion)!
