Turning Off Tamper Protection on Workstations
How do I turn off Tamper Protection on a domain-joined Windows 11 workstation? The problem is a workstation has Windows Defender in Passive Mode instead of being in Not Running mode after installing a 3rd party antivirus. Windows Defender is making running network applications from the servers much slower because it's still real-time scanning. I also suspect Tamper Protection is also preventing network drive exclusions from working on this workstation and on the ones that use Windows Defender without a 3rd party antivirus. I've tried adding every registry entry, Group Policy, and PowerShell command on the local workstation I could find to disable Windows Defender, but nothing works. I'm assuming this is due to Tamper Protection ignoring everything? This is an on-premises domain and doesn't use Microsoft Intune or Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager.
Turn on Tamper Protection in WIndows Server 2022 by GPO
Hello I have Server 2022 with the latest ADMX templates but I still can't find a GPO setting that will turn on Tamper Protection. I could find the registry that is involved and deploy that by GPP. However as a lot of other Anti-Virus settings can be done by having explicit settings, why not this? I even asked Chat GPT but it kept telling the setting is in MAPS but it is not!!! I tried to find any AV admx templates but could not. Thanks in advance
