Hi Frank, No. It doesn't modify anything. You can read the batch file contents if you want before running it.

Hi Ramesh I was actually looking for a reassurance ie an understanding of what the Batch file actually does rather than just end things. Thank you Frank

Ok. I understand your concern. Hope you get this resolved soon. Regards,

Hi Ramesh, Have the first two file’s revealed anything. To be honest I am very nervous about executing this batch file. What does it do exactly and will it make any lasting changes to the configuration. I am sure you will understand my concern, Ta Frank

Those entries have no significance. Those entries show up in my system as well. You'll see a lot of Not Found entries for any operation you do. Usually, most of those entries have no significance.

You may try this if possible.

Download this REG file and save it to a folder named c:\reg\

Launch AdvancedRun (from Nirsoft) and start cmd.exe as TrustedInstaller.

In the TrustedInstaller Command Prompt, run:

reg.exe import c:\reg\securityhealth.reg
exit

This restores some essential registry keys used by Defender.
