Windows 10: Windows Security > Virus & threat protection > Manage providers > Web protection: No providers

On a Windows 11 machine on which Microsoft Defender for Endpoint MDE has been deployed, I can see under Windows Security > Virus & threat protection > Manage providers that it says Web protection: No providers.I have enabled what I believe are the relevant SmartScreen and Network Protection settings using Intune.On this related question, @Rob Koch's answer implied that it showing "No providers" is normal for home / small business users, but for users with "commercial systems using the Microsoft Defender for Endpoint," it should display something.

Windows Security, Settings, Security Providers, Manage Providers, Web Protection, No Providers.

Hi there Rob. Thank you for your reply.

Yes, I am very specifically in "Microsoft Windows 11 Home in S Mode".

Here is how I got to the No Web Protection.

Windows Security app, to

Firewall & Network Protection, see

Domain network, (and if protection is on or off)

Private network, (and if protection is on or off).

Public network, (and if protection is on or off).

Under that there are some additional options to tweak the Firewall settings.

Click on, Firewall notification settings, see

Settings

Security Providers

Manage providers. Click on manage providers, see:

Security Providers:

Antivrus

Firewall

HERE!!! HERE!!!! HERE!!!! WEB PROTECTION.

No Protection.

Thanks again.

My question is, do you guys use web protection provider and if so which one?
I would prefer to not install any kind of antivirus or firewall just to get web protection provider/app.
