Windows 10: Microsoft Defender ATP User Licenses

I am starting to get Microsoft Defender ATP configured. In doing so I am wondering if it is necessary to apply Microsoft Defender Advanced Threat Protection licenses to individual users in our organization? Since what I have seen thus far with on-boarding machines, it seems that ATP works regardless if the active user on the machine has an individual APT license or not. So I'm not sure what assigning an individual license does can anyone provide any insight on this, or point me to some documentation that can?

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?

I tried to submit a question, but it would not let me submit it. What good does it do to have this system if it won't work.

Why am I, as an individual home computer user, subject to the strict regulations of Defender ATP? I cannot connect to links that are provided in emails that I have used for years, until today. All messages when attempting to connect either refer to ISO
or Defender ATP. What seems to be the problem. There is such a thing as too much over protection, and this sure seems to be the case.

Is anyone doing anything at Microsoft/Windows to help us individual users? I think that we should be able to OPT OUT of ATP if we so desire. I can turn Defender off, but not ATP. Why?

I am thankful for any help that anyone can shed on this problem.
