Hi cyb3rmik3,
Thank you for your reply!
I can understand the MDE documentation and the method you described, that is, the prerequisite for disabling defender is to manually disable tampering protection first. However, as described in my question, it is unacceptable and unreliable for enterprises to manually disable tampering protection for at least thousands of operating systems.
