Unnecessary dependency to MS Defender #4013

Closed StenApp closed 10 months ago

StenApp commented 11 months ago

Describe the bug

Without the folder C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows Defender I get 0x80070057 - Errors when updating store apps. Smartscreenps.dll must also be there.

Steps to reproduce the bug

Disabling files of defender ( I want to ger rid of it/ uninstall it/ disable it completely) breaks half of windows 11, start menu, search in taskbar and notification center

Expected behavior

Apps that use appSDK work without the need of defender files or folder being there!

Not relevant to Windows App SDK, your only option is to file Windows Defender feedback in Feedback Hub.

It is the smartscreen component that checks the source and certification of application installation packages.
Even if you want to completely turn off/uninstall the Defender you shouldn't remove the smartscreen component as it's being used by a large variant of applications from 1st to 3rd party vendors.
