    Windows Defender showing This setting is managed by your administrator


    Hello Microsoft!I am here to report that I have got 2 settings in Windows Defender for some reason managed by my admin. Before, these worked perfectly fine. Now I get this as I try to enable it. I don't know why it says this. I don't have any third party anti-malware apps installed or anything like that. I just wonder why this appears? It's in yellow text.

    :)

    Defender - "This setting is managed by your administrator"

    I got fed up with AVG finally and fully uninstalled it with their removal tools. Now I'm trying out Windows Defender to see how I manage.

    But under "Virus & threat protection settings", I can't enable Real-Time protection.It's greyed out and says, "This setting is managed by your administrator".

    I have shutup10 installed so I'm wondering if that is blocking it, but I don't know which setting would do this. At first, all 4 settings in shutup10 for "Windows Defender and Microsoft Spynet" were enabled (blocked), and Defender wouldn't even turn on. I disabled all 4 in Shutup10 and now Defender is running, but I still can't enable Real-Time protection so I'm thinking something in Shutup10 might still be preventing it.

    Any suggestions on what to try? I tried disabling everything one section at a time in Shutup 10 but unless I missed something it hasn't helped. Maybe it's something else?

    Try creating an SRP (Software Restriction Policy) in Windows 10 Home. It has no effect.

    Settings are totally ignored. The file still launches.

    That's just one example.

    Could it be that key combo has been reassigned by something else?

    And have you otherwise verified the ALT key is working?

    And it may be that ALT + Enter no longer works in Win 10 for whatever obscure reason - it's not a Windows key combination, but specific to programs. Why am I suggesting this? Because on a superficial search, others are having problems with it too...

    Why doesnt Alt+Enter fullscreen work in Windows 10? - Super User
    - suggests perhaps using F11
