Hi, I deleted your posts as they're too long and makes this issue hard to follow.

Reverting whole disable defender category should resolve this.

These are most likely scripts that sets UILockdown, searching for UILockdown gives these:

These should already be reverted once you revert Defender category though.

@nigritoz The real time protection of Microsoft Defender automatically gets enabled even though we tried to disable. Please see if it got enabled or not. If its disabled send us snapshot of your task manager.
