Windows 10: Tamper protection is of but want to turn on

I noticed that tamper protection is off in my security settings and it is saying that an administrator is required to turn it on. This is a home computer with only one user and I'm the administrator so I'm not sure why it won't work. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Cant turn off tamper protection

Hi Faza,

I'm Christine, a Windows user like you. I'll do my best to help you.

I can see here that you cannot turn off the tamper protection. Please follow the steps below:

1. Please click start menu and type Access Work or School and hit enter. Check if there's an account connected, please try to disconnect it and check if you will be able to turn off the tamper protection.

2. Please check this link and follow the steps given by Kapil Arya and Dave Patrick.

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.
