Security Essentials - Available Windows content although Windows logs are not onboarded?

Hi,

I'm testing the Security Essentials app with just onboarding Linux logs.

Nevertheless the Content Overview shows "available content" for multiple sources, e.g. Windows. Within the dashboard Security Content windows content is listed as well, when I select data availability "good". When I open such a windows detection rule, the status under perequisites is red (as expected).

Why is so much content marked as available without data?

Cheers 🙂
