When you configure a policy, a key in registry Group Policy Objects is created containing the rules for Machine and User with a random identifier number that changes everytime you restart.

I found there is like a bug or misbehavior that can prevent Group Policy to set DisableAntiSpyware correctly and it gets reset everytime you restart though. Yeah apparently it still works, people still need to make sure to turn Tamper Protection off though so keys to disable realtime protection or the whole Microsoft defender will not get reset.

The first made Microsoft Defender Antivirus flag hosts file manipulations as malicious if they contained entries for certain Microsoft servers, mostly Telemetry servers used to submit data from the Windows 10 device to Microsoft. Microsoft released an update for the security program earlier this month that introduced two major changes to it. Disabling real-time protection offers a temporary recourse only as it is automatically enabled again by the operating system. What administrators cannot do is disable the program entirely using the Settings app. If administrators don't install a different antivirus solution, Windows Defender Antivirus is enabled and will protect the system in various ways.Īdministrators may configure some settings of the program in the Windows 10 Settings application this includes turning various security feature such as cloud delivered protection, tamper protection, exploit protection or ransomware protection on or off. Microsoft Defender Antivirus is the default antivirus protection on the company's Windows 10 operating system.
