I used the command get-mppreference on my PCs to check my Defender settings. For my laptops CloudBlockLevel = 4 and for my desktop PC it is set to 1. Why the difference since all Defender settings are set to default in the Defender GUI.

The command Set-MpPreference -CloudBlockLevel 0 does not reset the laptop settings to zero - they stay at 4.
