Prevents installation scripts from automating setup.

Go to Settings

Click on Virus & threat protection in the left menu.

3

Manage Settings

Under the "Virus & threat protection settings" section, click Manage settings.

This setting blocks scripts (like the ETT installer) from making changes to Defender. You MUST disable this for the installer to work correctly. You can re-enable it afterwards.
