A reboot is required. Works in both Frankenstein (W8) and Son-of-
Frankenstein (W10).

Oh, you means the security feature that ensures ONLY Windows core
receives the Ctrl+Alt+Del keyboard combination to allow a login which
makes sure some malware isn't intercepting that key combo?


Doesn't seem to be an issue on other version of Windows.

And since when does malware ever get stopped by M$'s dismal
security features.

Have the OS intercept the keyboard scan codes at the kernel level to
prevent ANY other process from grabbing the Ctrl+Alt+Del keystroke
guarantees that the login dialog is the one from the OS, not by malware
pretending to be the login dialog to steal your login credentials.

Obviously if you remove the security barriers than YOU made it easier
for malware to do its nasty work, and even make it easier for the less
robust malware. No, a chain link fence won't keep out the burglars but
leaving the gate unlocked makes it a lot easier for them.

Of course, if you grant physical access to the computer then security is
out the window for ALL operating systems.
