Joe Stocker Both curious around feature updates and also to ensure we are running with supported sensors to meet SLAs.

I have also found that not all versions of Windows 10 have specific updates to Defender ATP.

The last one with ATP specific info was 1903.

Nothing mentioned in 2004 or 1909

But I found a monthly breakdown of improvements to Defender ATP with Windows 10 2004 on this link.

Not all updates related to a sensor update but not called out specifically either.
