GPO key should only be created again until you configure a policy.īut GPO key has to have 2 sub keys for Machine and User policies, the identifier seems to random everytime you open GP and modify a policy. that’s all, then it should disappear when you close GP. But if you see four keys (since you already said you have two) then just make sure you are deleting the one that doesn’t have the temp policy change. Just to make sure you don’t break GP, if you closed GP and you still see two keys inside GPO log out and log in quickly if you can, if you open registry and still see 2 keys then you can remove them because GPO is a temporary key that has to be removed as soon as you close GP.īut the safest way to ensure you don’t break GP is just to configure any policy temporary, if you then see the same two keys being modified then don’t delete anything. But it seems like it is still working.īut like I said, even if MS really disables DisableAntiSpyware value from all places, disabling Defender services is not difficult to do to make drama about it, or even just disabling realtime protection which is the bad thing about Defender because it slows down everything since it uses CPU and Disk like crazy should be enough for most as Syrup Of course, people HAVE to make sure they disable Tamper Protection if not some Defender policies will get reset.

So to me, what this is talking about is how you can’t disable Defender on the customized/unattended installation of Windows, but it seems you can still do it once Windows is installed, because it is working. I think the problem is people are reading this issue wrongly, because the Microsoft documentation that is talking about DisableAntiSpyware it is the one about unattended installations, not about policies or the service itself. But if it was true that DisableAntiSpyware is discontinued and ignored then why would Defender gets disabled in the first place? So as long as Tamper Protection is off, it seems to work, even DisableAntiSpyware in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Defender works even if it gets reset after a while. That GPO key gets removed on restart, but sometimes the problem is that it contains also old keys with old policies with an old random identifier preventing GPO key to get deleted, and for some reason it causes DisableAntiSpyware value to never go to Software\Policies and only stay in GPO key, so on restart it gets lost since it was never written in the corrent place to take action.īut it is easily fixed by removing those old keys (careful of not removing the current one being used, if not GP will completely break) and then Group Policy Objects will do its job correcly and write DisableAntiSpyware value in Software/Policies and it doesn’t seem to get removed or ignored by Defender. When you configure a policy, a key in registry Group Policy Objects is created containing the rules for Machine and User with a random identifier number that changes everytime you restart. I found there is like a bug or misbehavior that can prevent Group Policy to set DisableAntiSpyware correctly and it gets reset everytime you restart though. Yeah apparently it still works, people still need to make sure to turn Tamper Protection off though so keys to disable realtime protection or the whole Microsoft defender will not get reset.
