This test checks the setting for policy 'Turn on Windows Defender protection against Potentially Unwanted Applications' on Windows hosts (at least Windows 8.1). If this feature is enabled, Potentially Unwanted Application (PUA) protection blocking takes effect on endpoint clients after the next signature update or computer restart. Signature updates take place daily under typical circumstances. PUA will be blocked and automatically quarantined
