From https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/srd/2017/08/09/moving-beyond-emet-ii-windows-defender-exploit-guard/:

“We recently introduced Windows Defender Exploit Guard (WDEG) which will complete our journey to incorporate all of the security benefits of EMET directly into Windows.

[…]

You do not need to deploy or install Windows Defender Antivirus or any other additional software to take advantage of these settings, and WDEG will be available on every Windows 10 PC running the Fall Creators Update.”

Which means that the document from the Australian Government advisory body in relation to using EMET on Windows 10 will be obsolete starting with the next Windows 10 release, likely to be known as 1709. They will have to update their advise to stay current.

What is interesting too is you can import your settings from EMET.

There are at least some people that seem to still be doing a good job at Microsoft.

And they also seem to listen to feedback from users. Sounds like a best practice that they should generalize.
