Windows 10: Windows Security keeps 'warning' me that cloud-delivered protection and automatic sample...

No matter how many times I click 'Dismiss' or manually go into the settings and dismiss it there, the security icon keeps bugging me with a yellow warning icon that my cloud-delivered protection is off, and that automatic sample submission is off.

I do not wish to turn these on.

How do I get rid of that bloody yellow triangle once and for all?

Cloud-delivered protection

Hello all! I was curious as to what personal information is collected about me, if I turn on the 'cloud-delivered protection' in Windows defender security center? I have read the 'privacy statement' multiple times. I have already 'removed', if you will,
any and all allowed shareable content. I guess my question boils down to: Will any additional private data be submitted? If I activate the 'cloud-delivered protection', will it automatically turn on some of the aforementioned settings I have intentionally
turned off?

Also, the Windows defender security center (Under the virus & threat protection settings tab) says that the cloud-delivered protection "Works best with Automatic sample submission turned on". I have zero intentions of turning the automatic sample submission
on.

It is my understanding, from their 'privacy statement', that Windows will get my data with or without my consent, if they really want it. I would really appreciate any feedback from those who have enabled this 'cloud-delivered protection', and if any of
their settings have been automatically changed by Windows?

Any advice will be good advice.

Thank you for your time and attention.

Derek

SOLVED: Cloud-Delivered protection and Automatic sample submission. This setting is managed by your administrator

Hi, I cannot manage to figure out whats wrong here. In windows defender settings I cannot turn on Cloud-Delivered protection and Automatic sample submission, it says This setting is managed by your administrator. All other options I can turn on and of. imgur.com

EDIT; I solved it with help from tech support.

Go to Start > type group-policy > select Local Group Policy Editor Go to Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Defender Antivirus > MAPS Disable the following features: Join Microsoft MAPS Send file samples when
further analysis is required Go to C:\Program Files\Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection\SenseSampleUploader.exe > Enable Firewall profiles Restart your computer.

I couldn't get SenseSampleUploader.exe to run. But I did the former steps and restarted the computer. I then got an alert from windows defender telling me these options were off and I could enable/disable at my own digression again. Hope this fixes it for
someone if they run into the same problem
