To be clear:<br />

The assumption &quot;if their computer is infected the infection may notice that Quick Assist is in use, and then propagate into your system&quot; is Dr. Klahn's, not Microsoft speaking.<br />
<br />
&quot;Propagation&quot; via remote tools like QuickAssist is hardly even possible since no common malware is made exactly for that. You would need tailored malware, like secret services use, that know exactly that an asset is using quickassist regularly. <br />

You will not be endangered.

Windows 10 is a personal computer operating system featuring the "universal application architecture" (UAP); apps can be designed to run across multiple devices with nearly identical code, including PCs, tablets, smartphones, embedded systems, Xbox One, Surface Hub and HoloLens. Windows 10 also includes a virtual desktop system, a window and desktop management feature called Task View, the Microsoft Edge web browser, support for fingerprint and face recognition login, voice-based search (Cortana), new security features for enterprise environments, and DirectX 12 and WDDM 2.0 to improve the operating system's graphics capabilities for games.

Security is the protection of information systems from theft or damage to the hardware, the software, and the information on them, as well as from disruption or misdirection of the services they provide. The main goal of security is protecting assets, and an asset is anything of value and worthy of protection.  Information Security is a discipline of protecting information assets from threats through safeguards to achieve the objectives of confidentiality, integrity, and availability or CIA for short. On the other hand, disclosure, alteration, and disruption (DAD) compromise the security objectives.
