When I enforce the policy, are you force enabling Microsoft Defender?

Team: Huntress Managed Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR)
Product: Managed Microsoft Defender
Environment: Windows OS
Summary: Enabling Microsoft Defender by enforcing the policy

Enforce mode "enforces" the policy settings you have set in Huntress (via local Group Policy), which would be your exclusion list (whitelist/blacklist) and UI settings. We do not currently have the ability to enable Microsoft Defender settings if they are disabled. See Enabling Microsoft Defender (using Powershell) and Support Limitations for Microsoft Defender for more information.
