Microsoftemmanueldmc, when you say "baseline', is it the Security Baseline for Windows 10 and later or
Microsoft Defender for Endpoint Baseline? Thx.
Microsoft Defender for Endpoint Baseline? Thx.
yongrheemsft is it the Security Baseline for Windows 10 and later... the policy for Defender it configured in the section: Endpoint security | anti virus
emmanueldmc, what is the reason for configuring the same settings using a baseline and AV policy? It will help to avoid conflicts if the settings are configured in one place. When there is a conflict, the most restrictive policy will apply. Therefore, the result might not be the one you are expecting.
- To answer your question, setting this setting as `not configured` in the Baseline (in order for it to only take affect from the AV policy) there is still a conflict.
- I have the same issue and have not found a solution. There is no way to disable the Microsoft Defender settings in the "Security Baseline for Windows 10 and later". You have to configure the settings to something which then creates the conflict even if the settings are the same. The 3 settings I have which show conflicting on the baseline even though I configured them the same are: Enter how often (0-24 hours) to check for security intelligence updates, Scan type, and Scan network files.
