Summary
This rule monitors changes to the Windows Registry, specifically targeting the 'UseActionCenterExperience' setting which manages the notifications from the Windows Security Center. When the value of this registry key is set to 0 (DWORD 0x00000000), it indicates that notifications are disabled, which can signal an attempt to evade detection mechanisms or to reduce warning signals about system status. The detection method involves checking the registry key path: 'Windows\CurrentVersion\ImmersiveShell\UseActionCenterExperience'. If this key is found to end with the specified path and its value is equal to 0, the rule triggers an alert. This is particularly relevant for threat hunters and security teams monitoring for unauthorized configuration changes that may compromise system security.
