Hi Troops,
Thank you for posting in the Q&A Forums.
Configuring Windows Defender through a Group Policy Object (GPO) is an efficient way to centrally manage Windows Defender settings.
In the Group Policy Management tool, create a new Edit Group Policy and navigate to the following path:
Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components
Under it, you can find Windows Defender related folders, such as “Microsoft Defender Antivirus”, which you can configure.
Best regards
NeuviJ
