Missing conflict settings between Defender Baseline 20210430 and and Endpoint protection-type Configuration Profile

Question

We have an Endpoint protection-type Configuration Profile and its flagging as "Conflict" For all our windows devices. The following settings are in conflict:

FirewallProfileDomainPolicyRulesFromGroupPolicyMerged
FirewallProfileDomainConnectionSecurityRulesFromGroupPolicyMerged
FirewallProfilePublicPolicyRulesFromGroupPolicyMerged
FirewallProfilePublicConnectionSecurityRulesFromGroupPolicyMerged
FirewallProfilePrivatePolicyRulesFromGroupPolicyMerged
FirewallProfilePrivateConnectionSecurityRulesFromGroupPolicyMerged
FirewallProfilePrivateAuthorizedApplicationRulesFromGroupPolicyMerged

And conflicting between 2 policies:
Policy A - Endpoint protection-type Configuration Profile
Policy B - Defender Baseline 20210430

But these settings are only available in Policy B. I cant find any of them in Policy A!
Why or how are these settings in conflict?

We would also like to keep both A and B as there are settings in each of them that we want to implement.

@MasterSprongklong Thanks for posting in our Q&A.

For this issue, it is suggested to just deploy the Configuration Profile or just deploy Defender Baseline policy to a group. It is not recommended to mix them. Some settings may affect each other even if you don't configure them. It seems a known issue.

Given this situation, it is better to create an online support ticket to double confirm and find more accurate help. It is free. Here is the online support link and hope it helpful:
