Windows 10: Turn on Tamper Protection in WIndows Server 2022 by GPO

HelloI have Server 2022 with the latest ADMX templates but I still can't find a GPO setting that will turn on Tamper Protection. I could find the registry that is involved and deploy that by GPP. However as a lot of other Anti-Virus settings can be done by having explicit settings, why not this?I even asked Chat GPT but it kept telling the setting is in MAPS but it is not!!!I tried to find any AV admx templates but could not.Thanks in advance

How to enable Tamper Protection on Windows Server?

Hi all,

Is it possible to enable Tamper Protection on Windows servers? I've navigated to where the option is supposed to be in Windows settings to turn it on as described here but I can't see it. I can see the option on my Windows 10 machine, however.

I've tried to turn it on by adding the registry key 'TamperProtection' in "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Defender\Features" but I get an error message which reads "Cannot create value: Error writing to the registry".

I tried to edit the Permissions for 'Features' by giving the Administrators group full control but when I click OK I get a Windows Security message which reads:
Unable to save permission changes on Features.
Access is denied.

Can anyone confirm if this is a feature on Windows servers, and if so how do I turn it on?

Thanks
