On the other hand, If it has determined that the URL is not in the trusted list, it will open the website in an isolated Edge session. However, any link clicked in the isolated session will still launch in the original browser if it’s a trusted website. From there, user can navigate to any website, whether it’s trusted or not, as it won’t be able to harm your system.
To use the feature, both the Windows Defender companion application from the Microsoft Store and the browser-specific extension must be installed.
