[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 1048185, member: 32260"] Yes. That is why It is noted in the Configuredefender HELP. [ATTACH type="full" alt="1688551229801.png"]276912[/ATTACH] Anyway, there are a few settings that do not require Windows Restart, like SmartScreen settings. The REFRESH option only checks if the new settings were properly written in the Registry - some AVs can silently block such changes. So if you are sure that nothing tampers with ConfigureDefender, then the REFRESH can be skipped. No. But there was a single event when one of the ASR rules for MS Office caused a mess on the users' Desktops (shortcuts killed by Defender after Defender update). It is OK. Mostly Yes, but not always. [/QUOTE]
