    Are Insider builds more prone to computer attacks?


    I am in the Insider program for a while. I have had my computer attacked numerous times by ransom ware. Are these builds more prone to attacks? I also get their browser audio alerts that my computer may be shutdown. I typically close the browser and remove all history etc from Internet options.

    I would say that the OS build is fine, It's your browsing habits that are prone to attacks and malware.

    Stop clicking on everything you see and you should be fine.

    Windows 10 Insider related errors


    This is how they manifest. I normally do not click on anything.

    In theory, Insider builds should be less prone to attacks as that is where MS usually implement new security features first for testing, but of course they may be bugged.....

    That's not an attack, It's a bug.

    Some sites have what's called drive by's which loads malware without clicking anything, It's usually shady web sites that do this stay away from shady web sites.
