Question

In the group policy management editor's turn off real-time protection setting, which state would you choose to ensure that windows defender's real-time protection is always on and cannot be overridden by other users, including local administrators?

O Not Supported
O Not Configured
O Disabled
O Enabled

Answer 1

To ensure Windows Defender's real-time protection remains on, the Group Policy's "Turn off real-time protection" setting should be set to Disabled.

Step-by-step explanation:

To ensure that Windows Defender's real-time protection is always on and cannot be overridden by other users, including local administrators, the "Turn off real-time protection" setting in the Group Policy Management Editor should be set to Disabled. When this policy is Disabled, it means that real-time protection cannot be turned off through the policy setting.

If you were to select Not Configured, real-time protection could still potentially be turned off by users through other means. Choosing Enabled would mean that the policy actively turns off real-time protection, which is not the desired outcome. Therefore, the correct choice to keep real-time protection always on is to set the policy to Disabled.
