What is Tamper Protection in Windows 11/10
When it comes to simple home users, you can connect the setting in your app right from your Virus and Threat tab. If you are a corporate user, you can use Intune management to manage the security settings centrally. This feature will be enabled by default for all home users. For enterprise customers, it will be opt-in. The full end-to-end functionality of this security feature is still being worked on. But, you can find a setting on the current Windows 11/10, Windows Defender Anti-Virus.
Enable or disable Tamper Protection in Windows Defender
To enable or disable Tamper Protection, Press Win+I to open Settings. Go to Update & security > Windows Security tab > Virus & Threat Protection > Virus & Threat Protection Settings > Manage Settings. Here you can toggle the Tamper Protection switch On or Off. You can also use Intune or Registry to enable or disable Tamper Protection.
How does Tamper Protection help
You get real-time protection based on the Microsoft Defender ATP – which is next-generation protection. It prevents others from tampering with important security features. You should not disable it. It offers: If you are a corporate user, you could have a centralized setting. But, your admin roles will not be able to change those settings.
The full functionality of the feature will be released along with the upcoming release of Windows 10 v1903. Tamper protection builds on other security features like Windows Defender Antivirus Sandboxing capability and expands existing tamper protection strategies across Microsoft Defender Advanced Threat Protection. Tamper protection is now available for all customers, including Enterprise in Microsoft Defender ATP Threat and Vulnerability.
