    Microsoft Windows Defender Keeps Re-enabling Windows 11 Group Policy.


    I keep disabling WIndows Defender in Windows 11 through the group policy, but it keeps re-enabling for some reason. Anyone know how to completely disable Windows Defender in Windows 11?If I keep getting these issues, I'll revert back to Windows 10.My current understand of disabling Windows defender through group policy isComputer Configuration - Administrative Templates - Windows Components - Microsoft Defender AntivirusTurn off Microsoft Defender Antivirus enabled.Once I enable the policy I restart, but after some time, the service re-enables.

  2. Windows Defender Group Policy Disabeled

    Hi,

    Thank you for contacting Microsoft community.

    As you have stated you want to disable the group policy so that you can run windows defender on the computer.

    I would like to suggest few troubleshooting steps:

    Method 1: Disable group policy from gpedit.msc


    • Press Windows key + R.

    • Type gpedit.msc and click Ok.(it will open Local Group policy editor)

    • Go to Computer Configuration/Administrative Templates/Windows Components/Windows Defender.

    • In the right pane of
      Windows Defender
      in Local Group Policy Editor, double click/tap on the
      Turn off Windows Defender
      policy to edit it.

    • Select (dot) Not Configured or
      Disabled, click/tap on OK,

    • When finished, you can close the Local Group Policy Editor if you like.
    If the issue still persist you can follow method 2.

    Method 2: Disable group policy from registry.

    Important: This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow
    these steps carefully. For added protection, back up the registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click the following article number to view the

    • Right Click on Window Defender to create a new Dword.

    Windows Defender group policy disabled and WIndows Defender is not listed in group policy

    Ok, I got the message that Windows Defender is disabled by group policy, No big deal, I do a quick search and find where the I can enable it. But Windows Defender is not listed in the group policy. And yes, I am 100% sure about this.

    This happened when a shady program got into my PC, it messed things up, but I am mostly back on track, except for Windows Defender.
