[QUOTE="93803123, post: 834852"] While this control setting is present in GPO, it does nothing on Windows 10 when enabled. All it is supposed to do is to make a control available in the Windows Security tray area icon in the context menu to pause a scan. Yet, it doesn't do that when enabled. On Windows 10, there is only a Cancel option via the main Windows Defender Security Center GUI. Like much of GPO, it is halfassed. GPO is an ancient relic from pre-XP that Microsoft willfully neglects. They keep kicking the GPO can down the road because of the few enterprise admins that use it. Otherwise, it is essentially legacy crapware because of the enumerable problems with it on both workstations and servers. Not to mention the divisions that develop and maintain Windows Defender, GPO, AppLocker, Device Guard, Application Control, and so on do the following on Windows 10: 1. put in a new feature unannounced 2. remove it unannounced 3. change it unannounced 4. do not support and maintain all aspects of the features despite those features being shipped with Windows So Windows 10 security is like an ongoing tinkering experiment and a lot of people do not realize that there are a lot of areas of Windows with really sketchy development and support. Windows Security is one of those areas. Things like GPO and AppLocker are very rarely ever maintained by Microsoft at this point. Both are on life-support. It's really unfortunate that Microsoft handles things in this manner because all it does is cause a lot of confusion, frustration and disappointment. Just search through TechNet about GPO alone and you will literally find thousands of pages of problems with GPO. And like they just don't fix things in it any longer. [/QUOTE]
