Defender Antivirus (AV) Passive Mode
Hi, While researching how to set Defender AV to passive mode I stumbled upon two registry keys: ForceDefenderPassiveMode https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/security/defender-endp...
- It looks like this has been resolved and all four links above now show that "ForceDefenderPassiveMode" puts Defender AV in passive mode.
Good catch! Haven't been utilizing the passive mode yet, but this sure needs some clear statement from MS.
This article describes it as ForceDefenderPassiveMode: https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/windows-itpro-docs/issues/7929
However, i don't get my Defender to passive mode with the entry (most likely because of Tamper Protection).
