I'm on W10 Home 1709/16299.192 (slightly older).

Under Windows Defender Security Center/App & browser control/Exploit
protection/Exploit protection settings/System settings/Force randomization for
images (Mandatory ASLR) - "Force relocation of images not compiled with
/DYNAMICBASE" is "Off by default", whereas Randomize memory allocations
(Bottom-up ASLR) - "Randomize locations for virtual memory allocations." and all
other settings are "On by default".

Under Windows Defender Security Center/App & browser control/Exploit
protection/Exploit protection settings/Program settings various .exes have 0-2
system overrides of settings.

I used the Export settings selection at the bottom to export the settings, which
use the implied System settings defaults, and include the Program settings
system overrides shown in the attached xml file.

It may be useful if you could export your default and updated settings for
comparison and information.
It would be nice if one of the project volunteers with Windows threat mitigation
knowledge could look at these, to see if there is a better approach.

I expect to get updated the next time I restart, as I have been seeing
notifications to that effect, and will not be surprised if my system startup
Cygwin shell scripts fail.

Take care. Thanks, Brian Inglis, Calgary, Alberta, Canada
