    Turn On Windows Defender Block Suspicious Behaviors in Windows 10  

    The DWORD is set to 0 and I cannot get the process you suggested in the "NOTE" portion of the tutorial to work. Two attached screen shoots will show the before and after attempts to change the Permissions necessary for access to the DWORD change.

    How to stop Windows Defender from deleting files.

    Windows Defender won't just remove all .exe file and it will do it if there is any suspicious behavior.

    You could try Windows Defender Setting and add them into exception list.
