DefenderUI by VoodooShield - Turn on Hidden Security Features of Microsoft Defender
- Thread starter danb
- Start date
Oops, thank you for catching that, it is fixed now!Thanks for the updates
The DefenderUI 1.44 installer gives me version 1.40.
Hello,
I've just installed DefenderUI 1.44 (Italian language) and I've selected the Recommended profile but I need some help. As you can see from the attached screenshot, on the left there is DefenderUI 1.44. In Threat Default Actions section I can't open the drop down menus and they show nothing, compared to the screenshot on official DefenderUI website, on the right.
Thank you in advance

You have to disable Defender's Tamper Protection in order to enable those options. Also, if you click on the i icon on the bottom right on that section of the screen, it also tells you this information as well.

Hello,
according to official DefenderUI website DefenderUI - Unlocks the full power of Windows Defender with an intuitive, streamlined interface. it seems that DefenderUI Silent is aimed mainly to Small and Medium-sized Business and Enterprise Customers
I think we need to buy danb a coffee 
of two, one the few dev's who actually make great software built for home users.
Andy Ful also deserves a free shot of vodka or a nice espresso martini on the house

Hello Dan,
I notice that DefenderUI has a option to start it at Windows boot. Is there a particular advantage to have it always active or you can simply run it when you need to change its settings and after that you can safely close it ?

Check the "DefenderGuard" tab, that's the advantage. It helps perverting Windows Firewall and Defender from being disabled.
Thank you very much for the info. Better to keep DefenderUI always active then. Anyway that feature isn't quite finished yet so I think Dan can explain what does he mean with that. Does DefenderGuard currently offer a partial protection ?

According to the info button, it's the time after which the protections automatically reactivate after the user, not malware or another software, has disabled them. I assume the reason is that if the user forgets to re-enable them they automatically reactivate after the selected period of time (5 or 10 minutes should be enough, I don't know what could be the reason for a longer period of time or to disable automatic reactivation). Also I don't understand why a user should disable those protections, maybe for doing some changes in DefenderUI settings, I would not know.
From this one might deduce that malware or other softwares cannot disable the 3 types of protection but is this really the case?

Hey guys, thank you for the questions!
The reason why it says "This feature is not quite finished yet." is because we can make this feature even more robust, even though it works great the way it is.
We can add a 1 Minute option, but I figured 5 Minutes was the lowest anyone would really want.

I see. I thought the point of the feature was to enable the AV in case it got disabled by malware, not user need.
