Tamper Protection Disabled - This settings is managed by your administrator
After changing Antivirus (SentinelOne has been uninstalled) to using only Microsoft Defender with Huntress half of my devices have tamper protection disabled. I cannot enable it via the Security app...

Devices with TP enabled do NOT show the administratively managed.
Devices vary Win 10 (22h2)-11. I am still trying to figure out this. Nothing is different that i have found thus far other than the regkey HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Defender\Features tamperprotection. Devices that have the message have a value of 0, where TP is good the value is 5
There are no SentinelOne policies in place. SentenelOne does not showup in REG.

Quite a pickle. Any way for you to push down a script to modify the registry to enable TP?

can you also try to take one client and try to offboard and onboard again?
thanks - somedude1020Dec 29, 2023Copper ContributorThanks, I will give that a try
- rahuljindalDec 28, 2023Bronze ContributorI haven’t tried this, but you can use a third party utility like setacl to give full control to administrators or the account you want to run your script under to modify the registry. This may be of some help - https://rahuljindalmyit.blogspot.com/2021/08/fixing-dma-requirement-for-silent-and.html
