Hi all,

We have a few machines where they are showing "Windows Defender Firewall is using settings that make the device unsafe" message when viewing "firewall and network protection." We are running 1809 enterprise with the latest August update.


Under "security providers",both Defender and Windows firewall are shown as turned on.


So i have checked the firewall, in settings, control panel and registry and it is on as managed by our policies

However, looking at defender settings it shows as below, and I can not seem to run a quick scan.

I have checked real time protection by creating a dummy file and it was picked up by defender, so I know real time protection is working, however the settings console states it is turned off (as shown below)

I just want to understand what the issue is, so I can deploy a fix for our other clients
