    In addition to the Farbar logs, please download defender_diag.bat (direct download link - zipped).

    https://gist.github.com/winhelponline/f01861081...

    Right-click on the downloaded file, click Properties, select "Unblock" (if it exits), and OK. Then, run the batch file as an administrator.

    The Batch file queries Defender-related settings/Policies and outputs the results to a log file named defender.log in your %temp% folder. Upload this log to your OneDrive and share the link here.

    The program shouldn't take more than 10 seconds to finish execution.

    thanks
