  1. Windows Defender is using settings that may make your device unsafe, but which ones?


    I've changed some firewall configurations in order to unblock a port to host a game server, but after that, the firewall is saying:
    "windows defender is using settings that may make your device unsafe"

    and it isn't saying which settings are making my device unsafe, it has only a "Reset Configs" which delete all firewall inbound/outbound rules and prevent me from hosting the server/mess with other programs running in my computer.

    Is there any command in CMD or PowerShell that might say which settings are unsafe so I can manually toggle them? Instead of bricking all my firewall configs by resetting everything to factory default?

    Thanks

    :)

    SEtting up automatic updates for windows defender on windows 8

    I have found this on the internet en have set up a task for automatic definitions update for Windows Defender but a window pops up when this starts to run.
    Is there a way to set this without any window popping up so that it just runs in the background?

    Now I'm using
    "C:\Program Files\Windows Defender\MpCmdRun.exe" -SignatureUpdate -MMPC

    I'm currrently using it as described here:

    Windows Defender is using settings that may make your device unsafe, but which ones?

    AMD FX OC'ers Club

    That's what the auto setting will do since you're over the 1333 mark it jumps to the next step which isn't listed or officially supported I assume by that ram.

    At this point though I would suggest dropping the multi one step or .5 so that we can get something stable and possibly take the heat issue out of the picture for now.
