- Hi Ambarish,
Thank you for your reply. The issue was due to 'DisableAntiSpyware' registry key under HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows Defender which was set to 1. Now we have the changed the value to 0 and we can see the Microsoft Defender as the active antivirus.
If anyone reading this is looking for step-by-step guidance on how to install Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, be sure to review the Defender setup guide in the Microsoft 365 admin center.
The guide has a great feature where it can detect settings in your tenant to provide tailored guidance.
Additionally, the setup guide is used to view and configure features as well as save time with automated investigation and response.
Note: If you don't have Microsoft 365 admin permissions, open the guide in a test or POC tenant to get instructions.
