Microsoft does not want Defender to be turned off completely. Therefore, when defender is turned off, windows update or windows component is trying to repair Defender and as a result Defender may become corrupt. Of course a malicious program may also corrupt Defender completely. (If there is no different security software in windows, when Defender is turned off)
Microsoft is constantly taking new measures because it does not want Defender to be turned off. There is a possibility that Windows Defender may be corrupted among these measures. Therefore We will no longer update this program

so i disabled it and for a moment cmd opened i got scared but nothing happened and mircosoft defender got disabled ( i think it rather got deleted ) and installed the game and after i finished i opened it again and clicked enable mircosoft defender and it opened cmd again but this time an error appered that said "windows defender cannot be started and now im scared it was a tojran or something

Device control capabilities in Microsoft Defender for Endpoint enable your security team to control whether users can install and use peripheral devices, like removable storage (USB thumb drives, CDs, disks, etc.), printers, Bluetooth devices, or other devices with their computers. Your security team can configure device control policies to configure rules like these:

Device control helps protect your organization from potential data loss, malware, or other cyberthreats by allowing or preventing certain devices to be connected to users' computers. With device control, your security team can determine whether and what peripheral devices users can install and use on their computers.

As a companion to this article, see our Microsoft Defender for Endpoint setup guide to review best practices and learn about essential tools such as attack surface reduction and next-generation protection. For a customized experience based on your environment, you can access the Defender for Endpoint automated setup guide in the Microsoft 365 admin center.

Device control capabilities from Microsoft can be organized into three main categories: device control in Windows, device control in Defender for Endpoint, and Endpoint Data Loss Prevention (Endpoint DLP).

Device control in Windows. The Windows operating system has built-in device control capabilities. Your security team can configure device installation settings to prevent (or allow) users from installing certain devices on their computers. Policies are applied at the device level, and use various device properties to determine whether or not a user can install/use a device. Device control in Windows works with BitLocker and ADMX templates, and can be managed using Intune.

BitLocker. BitLocker is a Windows security feature that provides encryption for entire volumes. BitLocker encryption can be required for writing to removable media. Together with Intune, policies can be configured to enforce encryption on devices using BitLocker for Windows. For more information, see Disk encryption policy settings for endpoint security in Intune.

Endpoint data loss prevention (Endpoint DLP). Endpoint DLP monitors sensitive information on devices that are onboarded to Microsoft Purview solutions. DLP policies can enforce protective actions on sensitive information and where it's stored or used. Learn about Endpoint DLP.

The device installation restrictions available in Windows allow or deny the installation of drivers based on the device ID, device instance ID or set-up class. This can block any device in the device manager including all removable devices. When device installation restrictions are applied, the device is blocked in the device manager, as shown in the following screenshot:

Device control for Defender for Endpoint provides finer grain access control to a subset of USB devices. Device control can only restrict access to Windows Portal Devices, Removable Media, CD/DVDs and Printers.

On Windows, the term removable media devices does not mean any USB device. Not all USB devices are removable media devices. In order to be considered a removable media device and therefore in scope of MDE device control, the device must create a disk (such as E: ) in Windows. Device control can restrict access to the device and files on that device by defining policies.

Some devices create multiple entries in the Windows device manager (for example a removable media device and a Windows portable device). In order for the device to function properly make sure to grant access for all entries associated with the physical device. If a policy is configured with an audit entry, then an event will appear in Advanced Hunting with an ActionType of RemovableStoragePolicyTriggered.

Device control for Microsoft Defender for Endpoint controls access to a device based on its BitLocker encrypted state (encrypted or plain). This allows for exceptions to be created to allow and audit access to non-BitLocker encrypted devices.

Administrators can control the behavior of the Bluetooth service (Allowing advertising, discovery, preparing and prompting) as well as the Bluetooth services that are allowed. For more information, see Windows Bluetooth.

Device control in Defender for Endpoint provides your security team with a robust access control model that enables a wide range of scenarios (see Device control policies). We have put together a GitHub repository that contains samples and scenarios you can explore. See the following resources:

Device control in Defender for Endpoint can be applied to devices running Windows 10 or Windows 11 that have the anti-malware client version 4.18.2103.3 or later. (Currently, servers are not supported.)

I'm working on this for a friend who really likes Defender. It will be a desktop controller, except that it will only be useful for Defender and Stargate. It sports a Lexan (plexiglass) cover and T-Molding around the outer border.The control panel uses a keyboard hack from a blue Hot Wheels USB keyboard. I gathered a couple of low-ish resolution images of Defender control panels from the internet and put some pieces together to make it look ok with the extra buttons (the Stargate 'Inviso' button and the '25 cents' button). I printed it out on ordinary paper and put it under the lexan.

- I have read that USB keyboards are a bad choice for doing a keyboard hack because they are limited to 6 keys being pressed at one time (and the Operating System enforces it because it's a part of the USB standard, I believe). Generally it will be possible to use more inputs with a ps/2 keyboard. However, with this control panel 6 simultaneous button pressed should be enough.

- Printing the overlay on paper is cheesy. It's paper. I glued 4 sheets of computer paper together, and it looks a lot better than I expected, so I will leave it that way. If it ages, though, then perhaps getting nice printout at Kinko's or something would be in order.

- I initially used an AutoCAD program to give the control panel the exact dimensions of the arcade version. However, I ended up straying from them a little when I made the overlay. The right-hand button cluster should use the correct dimensions. However, it's position in relation to the joystick is not quite correct, and the overall width of the panel is totally arbitrary (so it is not likely to fit in an original arcade machine).

Microsoft stopped allowing you to disable or uninstall Windows Defender quite a while back and thus it can cause some issues with other software in certain circumstances.With Defender Control, you can easily and quickly completely disable Windows Defender with a click. All that's required is to run the application and access it from the system tray.Opening the program gives you a couple of options. Enable or disable Windows Defender. It also gives you quick access to a few other Windows functions like opening the security center, change defender settings and change the language.Apart from that, this utility is perfect for being able to disable Microsoft's built-in antivirus software in any case that it's required.Thumbs up!Compatibility and LicenseDefender Control is provided under a freeware license on Windows from antivirus with no restrictions on usage. Download and installation of this PC software is free and 2.1 is the latest version last time we checked.

Defender has six different controls: an altitude (up-down) lever, reverse button, hyperspace, smart bomb button, thrust control, and fire button. The layout of these controls is pictured on the next page.

Understanding the effect of all of these controls is the first challenge in learning to play Defender. Because Defender has more controls than most video games, it is very important that their position and function be memorized. The player who has to look at the controls while playing will not be able to react quickly enough to keep up with the game as it progresses.

Now we come to the three controls on the right side of the playing surface. The first one of these is the smart bomb. When this button is depressed, all opponents on the main screen are destroyed. Their bullets or mines, however, are not destroyed. If an opponent has fired at you, and you destroy him with a smart bomb, your ship can still be destroyed by his bullet, so get out of the way.

Your right hand should be positioned with your thumb over the smart bomb, index finger on the thrust control, and middle or ring finger on the fire button. I prefer to use my ring finger for firing because it is more independent of the motion of the index finger. This independence not only provides better control, but gives your fingers more endurance in longer games because the adjacent muscles of the first and second finger are not working against one another.
