so what’s a batch file solution to this then? I’ve got a batch file to start Steam maintenance process, another to automatically play whatever CD is in my disk drive, how do i go about making one to re-add a Dword to Windows Defender and set its value to “1”?

windows deletes the dword 32 DisableAntiSpyWare after a while

i think its because of the updates. i’ve done this before with older version of windows 10 didn’t had this problem

Thanks a million for this, it worked beautifully. My input:
1- followed literally your post with defender on and rebooted, it didn’t work.
2- repeated it with deactivating defender value (1) and rebooted, this enabled me to access system scan options that wasn’t available before.
3- I chose “Scan windows defender (last option), it rebooted, worked on it and rebooted windows with problem solved.

Can’t thank you enough buddy.
