Device Performance & Health in Windows 11/10

The ‘Device Performance & Health‘ protection area in Windows 11/10, is one of the seven areas that protect your device and let you specify how you want your device protected in Windows Defender Security Center. The seven areas include-

Virus & threat protectionAccount protectionFirewall & network protectionApp & browser controlDevice securityDevice performance & healthFamily options.

To help you keep your device secure, Windows Security monitors your device for security issues and provides a Health Report, which appears on the Device performance & health page. The Health report alerts you to common issues with your system and offers recommendations to remedy them. If your device meets system requirements, you’ll also see the Fresh Start option, which helps you refresh your device by reinstalling and updating Windows 11/10. The Device Performance & Health area can be hidden from users. This can be useful if, as an admin, you don’t want them to see or have access to this area. If you choose to hide the Account protection area, it will no longer appear on the home page of the Windows Security Center, and its icon will not be shown on the navigation bar on the side of the app.
