    Can't turn off WD Real-time protection


    Real-time protection has a problem with the install file for the new version of MiniTool Partition Wizard, so I need to turn it off until installation is complete. But I can't since the settings switch is grayed out and there is a red message that "This setting is managed by your administrator." That's strange since I am the administrator. Anybody know what I should do to fix this? I'm running 1806 Pro.

    :)

    Cant turn on real time protection

    I’m not sure what’s going on there, but you might want to run some scans in order to make sure that malware hasn’t assumed the role of administrator and turned off Defender’s real-time protection with Group Policy:

    Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool:

    Kaspersky Removal Tool 2015

    Emsisoft Emergency Kit:

    Emsisoft | Emergency Kit: Free Portable Malware Scan and Removal

    Malwarebytes Anti-Malware (free version only):

    Malwarebytes for Windows - Antivirus Replacement for PCs

    Eset Online Scanner:

    Free Virus Scan | Online Virus Scan from ESET

    Some other trusted third-party malware-removal tools are listed here:

    https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us...al-tools/d824b9af-ebd8-4c47-94e2-8ee6c544c100

    Then you can use these REG commands to toggle the Group Policy setting for Windows Defender’s real-time protection.

    Click on the Start button and select Windows Powershell (Admin) and then copy, paste, and enter the command:

    Turn off Windows Defender’s real-time protection:

    REG ADD "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows Defender\Real-Time Protection" /v DisableRealtimeMonitoring /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f

    Turn on Windows Defender’s real-time protection:

    REG DELETE "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows Defender\Real-Time Protection" /v DisableRealtimeMonitoring
