Summary

Hide ▲

Microsoft has started rolling out built-in Sysmon to select Windows 11 Insider builds, adding native security monitoring and Windows Event Log capture without a separate install. The change matters because it gives admins a more manageable way to enable threat-detection telemetry across preview systems. The feature is still disabled by default, so users must turn it on manually.

    Microsoft rolls out native Sysmon to Windows 11 Insider builds

    Initial Disclosure

    Microsoft is rolling out built-in Sysmon to some Windows 11 systems in the Windows Insider program, including Beta and Dev channel devices on Windows 11 Preview Build 26220.7752 (KB5074177) and Windows 11 Preview Build 26300.7733 (KB5074178). Sysmon is disabled by default and must be enabled manually through Optional features or DISM, and the separately installed website version should be removed before turning on the built-in feature. The captured events are written to the Windows Event Log for threat detection and can be filtered with custom configuration files.
