Hello, I'm trying to understand while endpoint menu is missing in security center. (security.microsoft.com). I currently have a Microsoft 365 E5 Security License but I can't access to endpoint menu. I'm currently logging with a global admin account with the "Microsoft 365 E5 Security" license assigned but I can't access to the endpoint menu at all. Am I doing something wrong? My current license is a trial license, could be the issue (I don't think so)? ThanksSara2022Sep 17, 2025Copper Contributor15KViews1like5CommentsMDE-Onboarding issue
Hello Community, while i am trying to onboard a windows 10 machine into MDE where there is already another AV running which is Kaspersky, i am facing that issue that Microsoft AV is not able to revert its status from disabled into running state (passive mode). even if i am trying to start the service manually, it will revert itself back to the disable status. Did anyone experience that issue before between Defender AV and Kaspersky?MahmoudFaragSep 15, 2025Copper Contributor60Views0likes1CommentRansomeware query

If a file was downloaded, executed, and created a registry entry for persistence, is it enough to just delete the file from its original location? Or does the registry entry also need to be removed? What happens if it is not removed? If a malicious file created an entry under HKLM Run, HKCU Run, or RunOnce, and the file is later deleted but the registry entry is left behind, will the system still try to execute it at startup?Yogeesh143Sep 15, 2025Copper Contributor61Views0likes1CommentCan't update Defender app on macOS

Hi, I am currently using the Microsoft 365 Developer program and is trying to setup an Intune and Microsoft defender for endpoint tenant however when i am trying to integrate Defender with Intune, the endpoint setting is not showing in the settings despite that i have the Security administrator role. Is this expected when using the developer program or am i missing something? Would appreciate your kind advise.Solved777LDV777Sep 08, 2025Copper Contributor72Views0likes1CommentDefender detection caused by monitoring script
Dear Community We use PRGT, which monitors various things for our customers. One of our customers uses Microsoft Defender, which issued an alert for “SmokeLoader.” After some research, we found that this is caused by two of our scripts, which establish a connection to our servers and query various things. This raised the question of how we can best whitelist this, since the detection comes from “WinRM” and not directly from the script itself. However, the script itself establishes a connection to the servers and requests some information. Are there any sensible measures that can be taken here, because only whitelisting the script (folder or hash) makes limited sense here, since the detection in this case was for the WinRM process. So the behavior analysis would kick in again. Thank you for your time!

Whenever i need learning.microsoft.com, i found their describing A) very often menulinks, which does not exist (guess its rearranged) B) very often mistakes happen: in this article https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/defender-endpoint/android-configure-mam several parameters are described with an integer value and the same parameter a Seconds time at the same place as boolean. And so many mistakes morebi found. Well: some companies wanna earn money maybe doing training with their customers, which is necessary onlY, as the docu is unreadable or written so boring that you fall a sleep and understand nothing.
