[QUOTE="SeriousHoax, post: 1101754, member: 78686"] Yeah, maybe something for threat hunting or maybe for performance but that part doesn't make much sense. For personal users, I only see downsides because this will increase CPU usage as MD will have to compute the hash of every scanned executables. MD also seems to remove cache after a system shutdown (if fast startup is disabled) and reboot, so this will probably make MD compute hash again and again on every reboot. I think it's different from what I have enabled which logs the hash only for threats that are detected by the real-time protection. Configure Defender has this integration so I can just open the detection log from Configure Defender and check the hash on VirusTotal if needed. You can enable that by entering this in Terminal as admin, [/QUOTE]
