Windows Defender ATP Reboot

I am having an issue with Windows Defender ATP on all my Windows 10, domain joined PCs. After running the on-boarding script, the registry is updated at HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session
Manager\PendingFileRenameOperations with a number of ATP files.

After a reboot, this key is not reset so the PCs always think they need to be rebooted. If I uninstall ATP the problem goes away. Any suggestions?

Thanks

 

Defender ATP

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



Usually we do not suggest to disable Windows Defender feature, Windows Defender ATP protects endpoints from cyber threats; detects advanced attacks and data breaches, automates security incidents, and improves security posture. However, if you
still wish to disable it, please follow the steps mentioned below and check if it helps:

1. Open Windows Settings (Windows key + I).
   
2. Then click on Updates & Settings.
   
3. Then click on Windows Security.
   
4. You can disable Cloud based and automatic submissions.
   

If you need any additional assistance, then please write back with the following information:

1. What is the exact error message which you are getting?
   
2. Is the issue specific to an application?
   
3. Could you please
   post a screenshot for a better understanding?
