Has anyone else been experiencing issues with MS Defender on MacOS Ventura? It seems the update has crippled mine. I have also uninstalled and reinstalled it, but it does not work. Any possible solutions? Thanks.

ich habe das gleiche Problem nach dem Update auf Ventura. Er zeigt einen Fehler an und wenn ich auf beheben klicke soll ich die Festplatte und zwei weitere Optionen frei geben. Die sind aber bereits frei gegeben. Zudem wird scheinbar nur aktuell nach Viren gesucht, aber ich kann keine Schnellprüfung oder vollständige Prüfung durchführen. Die dauert nur eine Sekunde. Das kann also nicht sein.

I had this; after updating to Ventura, Defender was acting as if it didn't have the Full Disk Access permissions. Only thing that fixed it for me was:
1. Use AppCleaner to uninstall Defender, so that it also removes all the temp files/preferences etc
2. Restart
3. Check Settings -> Security & Privacy and make sure Defender has disappeared from all Permissions options
4. Then re-install it, and make sure to do the Quick Scan when prompted during initial setup (not sure why, but it only showed all the prompts properly if I did run the scan)
After that, it went through and picked up the permissions properly again.

There is a MacOS BUG released, which could explain this - link below.

I have not tried this, but at the bottom of the article, the last 2 paragraphs have instructions. Let us know if that has fixed your troubles

HI @Evaz235 I have upgraded from Monterey to Ventura on MacBook Pro 2018 (Intel) then installed Microsoft Defender (auto pushed out from Company Portal) and it seems to work fine, full scan, realtime, and the updates.
This may not be your experience, but I wanted to post back in case someone else was searching for an answer to the question of if both work together.
I will post back if I come across an issue,

@TR360 If your MDM admins have followed Microsoft's instructions, you'll have a configuration profile that is able to apply the full disk access settings where the current UI cannot. So, you would not see the issue in Ventura that unmanaged Macs do.
