[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 832963, member: 32260"] So, here is the test in the real machine (Windows 10 Pro ver 1903). [LIST=1] [*]Use Defender Control to disable WD - Defender Control changes color to red and shows that WD is disabled. Two WD services disabled (WdNisSvc and WinDefend). [*]Open smartscreentest2.net in the web browser ([COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)][B]not blocked by WD Network Protection[/B][/COLOR]). [*]Restart Windows - [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)][B]WD icon not visible on System Tray[/B][/COLOR]. [*]Open smartscreentest2.net in the web browser ([B][COLOR=rgb(0, 168, 133)]blocked by WD Network Protection[/COLOR][/B]). [*]Run Defender Control - it shows that WD is enabled (????). I looked at Windows services and previously disabled WD services are running now (WdNisSvc and WinDefend). [*]Run Windows Security Center, it shows Real-time protection disabled (????). [*][B][COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]You cannot enable Real-time protection via WSC!!!!:mad:[/COLOR][/B] Defender Control tool is not fully compatible with Windows 10 ver. 1903. [/LIST] [B][COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]So, after using Defender Control your WD is screwed. :notworthy:[/COLOR][/B] Anyway, somehow Network Protection still worked on my system (it should not with disabled WD Real-time protection). How to restore the functionality of WD? I tried again Defender Control - turned Off and next turned On Windows Defender from it. WD started working again.:giggle: Edit. It seems that after several minutes after reboot, Windows Defender is able to enable Real-time protection without using Defender Control. But, WD icon on the System Try is not recovered. [/QUOTE]
