[Bug]: Defender warning of "viruses" can't be disabled

[hihilogic-dev]

Description

I've been trying to run a couple batch files, and even some setup files as well, but it keeps returning an error that there is a "virus or potentially unwanted software". Usually, I would just go into settings and disable it, but clearly the settings has been stripped down and thus there is no way to disable it. Coincidentally, this also means I can no longer run the revert processes, since they are also a batch file, meaning that I no longer have means to restore Defender. Even when pressing the run button on my computer, Terminal will appear for a second and then immediately disappear. I would prefer to have all the settings i have activated reverted, so i can come back to this program at a later date, but I'm not sure how to do this.

Reproduction steps

Not sure what constitutes as a "virus", since a lot of setup files are basically a coinflip on whether it's actually going to run or not

Did you initially disable Defender before this?

No, I did not

@hihilogic-dev Can you please send the script?

[undergroundwires]

May be same as #413, most likely caused by #421

@hihilogic-dev I think this may help ya https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/page-not-available-your-it-administrator-has/d3b21957-d978-4881-82fb-7ccd6f6b2ddf

This should not happen if you did not disable Defender if you do not use privacy.sexy.
Try reverting Disable Defender user interface category.

When in doubt, create a script with all tweaks reverted and:

• rename the script to something random (sdjfdsf.bat)
• remove the first 2 comment lines in the script

@echo off
- :: https://privacy.sexy — v0.13.6 — Sat, 16 Nov 2024 01:37:12 GMT
- :: Ensure admin privileges
fltmc >nul 2>&1 || (

• Right click > properties > uncheck the block checkbox

Comment: the line removal is a fix for the microsoft-introduced windows defender "precaution" against privacy.sexy that I observed.
