     "Smart App Control
      Smart App Control adds significant protection from new and emerging
     threats by blocking apps that are malicious or untrusted. Smart App Control
     also helps to block potentially unwanted apps, which are apps that may
     cause your device to run slowly, display unexpected ads, offer extra
     software you didn't want [m365], or do other things you don't expect.
      Smart App Control works alongside your other security software, such
     as Microsoft Defender or non-Microsoft antivirus tools, for added protection.

What is "reliability-panel" and how is it accessed? I'm using Windows 11. The site, i.posting.cc, seems flooded or down so no clues from there.
