I haven't seen WMI turn System Restore back on ... even when doing dism /online /cleanup-image /startcomponentcleanup /resetbase .. which kicks off WMI/TIWORKER hasn't turn it back on that I've seen ... but there really is no telling what can turn it back onWindows Module InstallerI put my pension on it.
Update: It dawned me ... I might have not actually run that command since turning off System Restore. Just ran it and System Restore didn't get turned back on.
I'm trying to adopt the attitude that it's like living next door to the Airport. Hoping I'll get used to it.
Back to Windows Defender. I'm curios to know what protection settings members are using. In the main, "Cloud Delivered Protection" and "Automatic Sample Submission" I don't use Cloud, so I have "Cloud Delivered Protection" turned OFF.
Would turning this feature ON give me better protection?
Thanks
I use the defaults ... Not to sure about Automatic Sample Submission, but Cloud Delivered Protection is to help defend against Zero-Day exploits.Back to Windows Defender.

I was wondering if disabling the Windows Defender Verification scheduled task would stop these ridiculous Windows Module Installer SR points. I haven't tried that yet but I will try it tonight. Any thoughts on this?

Can't remember if I tried that or not, so let us know :)I was wondering if disabling the Windows Defender Verification scheduled task would stop these ridiculous Windows Module Installer SR points. I haven't tried that yet but I will try it tonight. Any thoughts on this?
Note: I bet it'll stop the restore point from getting created for a day, then it'll get re-enabled .. any takers :)
Hi, Eagle51. So far so good. Disabling the Windows Defender verification scheduled task worked. The Defender definition was updated on 08/24 but no Windows Module Installer was added to System Restore points. Did it on 2 computers, 1 Desktop and 1 Laptop. We'll have to wait until Windows Defender platform is updated (usually at the end of the month or the beginning of the next month) to see if Microsoft took care of the issue. If not will just disable Windows Defender verification scheduled task again. Seems like a good workaround.
