[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 893803, member: 32260"] ConfigureDefender uses the native PowerShell cmdlets so it is supposed to work on any new Windows version (GPO too). Applying GPO is a different method and it does not use the native WD settings but configures the policies that override (but not overwrite) the native Windows settings. Both ConfigureDefender and GPO use the methods promoted by Microsoft, but ConfigureDefender is focused on the most important settings. The main difference is that ConfigureDefender is not a native front end and it is much easier than GPO for most users. There is no need to use ConfigureDefender on Windows Pro when one knows how to do it via GPO, does not change frequently the settings, and can customize the Event Log View to see the WD events.(y) Edit. The main functionality of ConfigureDefender can be reproduced by a PowerShell script. [/QUOTE]
