I removed that option from ConfigureDefender and the new ver. 1.1.1.1 was analyzed and accepted by Microsoft. [URL='https://malwaretips.com/threads/configuredefender-utility-for-windows-10.79039/post-768349']Q&A - ConfigureDefender utility for Windows 10[/URL] I recommend to open the Hard_Configurator folder (C:\Windows\Hard_Configurator) and let Windows Defender quarantine the old ConfigureDefender.

ConfigureDefender is portable, but to work with Hard_Configurator, the executable has to be copied to the folder C:\Windows\Hard_Configurator. In some cases the Hard_Configurator can be blocked after trying to open the old ConfigureDefender.
