Windows 11 Pro 22H2
Running Windows 11 24H2 and I would like to try out the new security feature called Administrator Protection.

I went to Group Policy and I see a different wording called Enhanced Privilege Protection in Admin Approval Mode policy.
Is this the same as Administrator protection?

Then, under Settings under Account Protection I do not see Administrator protection.

I think this is for only for enterprise environments and not for consumers.

Its still not working - I read the guide and set the Group Policies in place. Rebooted. Still shows the classic UAC prompt.

Is there any specific requirements to run Admin Protection mode like Win 11 Enterprise, or a Policy Pack to implement with Group Policy or maybe the machine needs to be in a Domain?

Im running as a stand-alone machine and a Local Account (no MS account).

What I am doing wrong?

I am also running the latest Build as well.

The tutorial says you need to be on Canary builds. Or wait a while until it appears in later Insider builds this year.
If you're on production 24H2, it'll be a while.

Then why is the policy itself there added in Group Policy?
I dont get it.

I downloaded Windows 11 through Rufus then updated it with the latest updates.

I had been testing this feature on a spare PC, but whatever I do I still see the old UAC prompt instead of the Windows Security UAC prompt (Admin Protection).

I don't see a problem. There's no more secure system than the one you can't get on.
