i got a new windows 11 in S mode - I don't have any mcafee or extra protection, should I buy some? also I am getting a device settings warning on my security shield icon which is yellow, when I click I see core isolation - it wants me to change settings but I don't know how or why? could you help please?

Hi @Woodfairy
I have been getting this error on many W11 PCs after recent windows updates.
I have ignored or dismissed the error. Open Core Isolation in Windows Security. Dismiss or ignore the error.
Installing third party protection is up to you. I use third party primary malware protection as a personal choice. Also have Windows Security (WS) periodically run a quick scan.
WS has a very good cloud function that works well for known malware and zero day attacks. WS does not seem to do so good preventing ransomware infections.
A multi layered defense approach has been working for me.
Windows Security does a good job. It's not perfect. But what is perfect on this planet?
