As the name suggests, Anti-theft Protection will provide a blanket of security on Windows 10X. Specifically, it will stop others from resetting the host device.

In other words, Xbox One April update is the version of Windows 10 20H1 for Microsoft’s console. That explains why this Xbox One release has been in preview since September.
