What is Defender Tamper Protection?<\/h2>\n

Microsoft intends to protect the Windows Defender included in Windows 10 against malware tampering. It should not be possible for a malicious program to switch off Windows Defender. The Insider Previews (Build 18305 and later) of Windows 10 V1903 introduced the so-called Windows Defender Tamper Protection (see this article<\/a> on Preview Build 18305 in the Windows Blog). Martin Brinkmann from ghacks.net reported briefly about this new feature in this article<\/a> in December 2018.  <\/p>\n

Also this tensforum post<\/a> discusses the question of how to switch this function on or off. Microsoft has published in Feb. 2019 the article Prevent changes to security settings with Tamper Protection<\/a>. They wrote about Windows 10:<\/p>\n

Tamper Protection in Windows Security helps prevent malicious apps from changing important Windows Defender Antivirus settings, including real-time protection and cloud-delivered protection. If Tamper Protection is turned on and you're an administrator on your computer, you can still change these settings in the Windows Security app. However, other apps can't change these settings.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Tamper Protection is turned on by default. If you turn off Tamper Protection, you will see a yellow warning in the Windows Security app under Virus & threat protection. Tamper Protection doesn't affect how third-party antivirus apps work or how they register with Windows Security.<\/p>\n
