I have the Windows 10 version 20H2 and build 19042.746 right now and the problem still persists. Use the Feedback Hub or whatever it's called to comment on features which are missing etc. I am afraid the only solution to get rid of the warning is to enable the feature you don't want to have.Īs stated in this thread, you can send a message to Microsoft: This is also not about disabling Windows Defender itself, only the notification for PUA protection being turned off. What I would really like to know is: Is there a way the warnings can be dismissed permanently without going through Group Policy and without turning PUA on? I do not have Intune or Endpoint Configuration Manager available. I also tried the PowerShell commands in the article, but those settings basically just toggled the switch on and off. It also adds red text stating "This setting is managed by your administrator" over the "Potentially unwanted app blocking" section of the "Reputation-based protection" page. This results in a slightly unexpected "Disabled" appearance in the Group Policy editor. When I go to Group Policy Management Editor> Computer configuration> Administrative templates> Windows components> Microsoft Defender Antivirus> Configure protection for potentially unwanted applications and set that to "Enabled" with the options drop down set to "Disable (Default)" it does successfully clear the warning.
I did find this Microsoft Docs article that had instructions to disable PUA using Group Policy. The warning comes back every couple of days or after every reboot. Unfortunately all of these are temporary. Clicking on "App & browser Control" takes you to a screen where you can dismiss the warning under " Reputation-based protection." Clicking on "Reputation-based protection settings" brings up yet another option to dismiss it next to " Potentially unwanted app blocking." You can see the option to dismiss the notification under "App & browser Control" when you click the icon. Thanks to this, I now have an annoying yellow warning sign ⚠️ in my task bar which I would like to get rid of. The Windows update included a new feature to block potentially unwanted applications(PUA).
