🆕 Safe Windows Defender Management
Due to updates in Windows Defender on Windows 11 builds (25H2) and later, GTweak might not have disabled Defender on the first attempt or could require multiple tries. This update fixes the issue.
- Added functionality to manage the
MipDlp.exeprocess state. - Fixed restoration of Windows Defender parameters by switching to RegistryHive instead of static RegistryKey, ensuring correct export and import of
byte[]values inBase64, and improving ACL handling for better reliability. - Fixed clicking on a notification with no action assigned causing immediate logoff.
- Fixed Windows Defender toggle tweak not being applied during import now executed last due to restart requirement.
When Windows Defender is disabled, the system now automatically restarts into Safe Mode. All actions are fully automatic, and no additional steps are required from the user.
To make this clear and keep the user informed, the description and notification have been updated:
- Description of Windows Defender disabling has been updated to reflect the new workflow.
- Notification that appears when Defender is disabled has been updated to inform about the automatic restart into Safe Mode.
Caution
Before attempting to disable or temporarily turn off Windows Defender, make sure to add GTweak to Defender’s exclusions.
If this is not done, a situation may occur where the Windows Security Center interface disappears, the Defender service continues to run, and GTweak will be removed.
If this happens, the only way to restore full Defender functionality is manually via the Registry.
