Hi,
Thank you for the post, this is very useful feature. However let say user is using Windows Defender and enable PUA protection in Windows Defender, I guess in this case it should override this option in Microsoft Edge and makes it enable. So let say user is downloading something and SmartScreen filter allow it (since PUA) is off in Edge and Windows Defender detects it because PUA is on in Windows Defender and it cause confusion. I believe there should be some sort of sync between PUA on/off between Microsoft Edge and Windows Defender.
However, enable PUA in Windows Defender is not using direct UI, therefore there is need to request to add GUI in Windows Defender in Windows 10 for PUA too.
