I got this error:

_Get-MpComputerStatus : A general error occurred that is not covered by a more specific error code. At C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\HardeningKitty\0.9.2\HardeningKitty.psm1:1196 char:37

$ResultOutput = Get-MpComputerStatus


+ CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (MSFT_MpComputerStatus:ROOT\Microsoft\...pComputerStatus) [Get-MpComputerS 
tatus], CimException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : HRESULT 0x800106ba,Get-MpComputerStatus

The Hardening Score is: 3.18 Unable to find the specified field.__

Seemed Windows Defender blocked or disabled. Is there any way to get around? Thank you

Please post the output of the Get-MpComputerStatus command in PowerShell. Are you running antivirus software other than Microsoft Defender?

I have tried to replicate the error by installing a different AV engine but Get-MpComputerStatus does not break on my test system. Normally, the try ... catch should prevent your error. Could you please run this command and post the result here:

try { $Output = Get-MpComputerStatus -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue; $Result="SUCCESS" } catch { $Result="FAILED" } $Result
