- Windows Defender is missing.
- Monthly security rollups are not integrated (unless you manually install them post-lite, which may re-add bloat).
- Some Lite builds disable UAC (User Account Control) as a “performance tweak.”
- You plan to browse the modern web daily (even with Supermium, exploits exist).
- You handle sensitive data.
- You can run Linux Lite or ChromeOS Flex instead (both are more secure and equally lightweight).
