After upgrading to Venture I was looking through everything in System Settings and found that the upgrade had turned off full disk access for three items that were previously in Monterey:

smbd

sshd-keygen-wrapper

XProtect

I thought the defaults for these was on, for full disk access, previously. What is the default in Ventura? Shouldn't XProtect be on since that's the macOS built-in anti-virus/malware system? Or has this changed in Ventura?

Apple makes no statement/Help Topic/reference about all these added in Ventura.

If you use file sharing turn it on ...etc

the default was Xprotect off as you see it. I turned mine on with no ill effect.

These may well be features that will get activated as the new macOS matures and point updates roll out.

Hi - so are you saying that with a clean install of Ventura they are present but set to off by default?

Yes.

The only one you might need on is smbd if you want to access your Desktop, Documents, or Downloads folder over from another computer on your network via SMB.
