Windows Sandbox "Virus & threat protection settings" all off & disable
Got the 1903 update a couple days ago and fooling around with Windows Sandbox. A few minutes after powering it on, I got the notification, "Turn on virus protection." I click on it, and I get:
"Page not available
Your IT administrator has limited access to some areas of this app, and the item you tried to access is not available. Contact IT helpdesk for more information."
So I contacted myself (this is an ongoing, multi-decade inside joke at Microsoft), and I told myself to open up Settings and see what's going on. I found that everything looks normal under "Windows Security -> Virus & thread protection" with everything at "No action needed," but when I click on "Virus & threat protection settings -> Manage settings," everything is switched off and disabled from being switched on, explained by the red text, "This setting is managed by your administrator." These things include "Real-time protection," "Cloud-delivered protection," etc. Moreover, there is no "Scan with Windows Defender" in context menus.
Am I missing something here? The main thing besides isolation I want in Windows Sandbox is real-time protection! In addition, I've spent half a frustrating day trying to learn all about Hyper-V because enabling Sandbox killed VMWare Player, which Microsoft failed to warn me about when I enabled Sandbox. And the end result appears to be completely worthless. What the heck. Seriously.
