ConfigureDefender - modify native anti-virus settings
Posted: Sun Nov 07, 2021 4:20 pm
First mentioned as part of a testing process, Configure is a way to quickly modify Windows settings to let it take up more or less resources. I mostly loaded it up because I was trying to reduce the overall resource usage on a machine that doesn't need it. However, I ended up bumping a number of the settings up to be more secure, especially around MS Office .
Status: Portable, writes no settings. By virtue of the fact that it modifies system settings, it's not stealth.

EDIT: If you're having problems with the MsMpEng.exe file taking up a ridiculous CPU percentage, this program might help.
