How to turn off Real Time Protection setting on Windows Server - managed by Admin

Oti967 0

Hello,

I'm trying to turn off Real-Time Protection on a windows server 2019 on Azure to investigate an issue. The option to turn this off is greyed out and at the top is "This setting is managed by your administrator" The vm is not added to any AD Domain and I have the Admin Account access to it, yet I couldn't turn it off. Also, could it be related to Defender for Cloud on Azure? Can you assist in helping to turn this off?
