Windows 11 Defender not responding at all - No online solutions working.
Hello all! This is my first post on here, so i am sorry if i maybe mess something up with the formatting or so. But i have been having an issue ever since i got Windows 11 for my Surface Pro 4, whic...
I have finally (!) resolved the issue. However, i was forced to do a reset of my system. It seems to be working reliably now, even after a restart. Hopefully this problem does not reappear. I honestly think ill sell my Surface Pro if it does - It's just not worth spending so much time for.
For making policies instantly take action, use command prompt or powershell as admin and start the ~15seconds long command:
gpupdate /force /wait:-1
Several settings but require you to restart the PC. ... as usual, it's a bit unpredictable on Registry edit time of activation. 🙂

I forgot to mention EXPLOIT GUARD feature of WinDefend. It needs an outer configuration file. In my Registry-edits you see I used a file "C:\0\Settings.xml" or in "C:\!\Settings.xml"... create an .XML and put this in there: then turn on what you like, false to true.
