Windows 10: Cannot Disable "Tamper Protection"

Hi,I am trying to disable the "Tamper Protection" settings in Windows Defender but I cannot turn the option off. It says "This settings is managed by your Administrator" I am the Administrator, I am also the only user on my PC. And there is no work or school account connect either. I have tried changing this setting in the registy but I get an error saying Access Denied. As well as changing the setting in the Policy Editor.Any help is much appreciated.Cheers,Evan

Hi, I am Paulo and I'd like to help.

Have you tried disabling it using the Registry? Although, there are steps to be taken before you can disable it. See full details in the link below.

Defender Tamper Protection/1903

Moderators: This thread deals with Defender Tamper Protection setting and 1903. If this would be better served in a different location, please feel free to move the post.

Just wondering if anyone who installed 1903 is having any unusual issue with Defender's Tamper Protection.
Here's the blow-by-blow.....

1. Friend and I were running 1809 and installed 1903 via Update Assistant on Tuesday, May 21st. No issues and Defender Tamper Protection was on (default setting).
2. Two days later, the 23rd, friend gets alert that Tamper Protection is off. She turned it on and it seems to be holding.
3. Today, I get the alert Tamper Protection is off and I turned it on. So far, it's holding.

I have no idea why Tamper Protection would turn off. Both computers are clean -- no viruses, trojans, malware or adware. We do not mess around in the registry and there is absolutely no third-party antivirus on either machine.

For now, I'm taking a wait-and-see if Tamper Protection turns off again. I don't know if it's a 1903 bug or not. Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.
