Not sure how to explain this. Installed our VLA image, configured it for our network, meaning firewall off, windows defender off, antispyware off. made an image. Once loaded and on the network, we install Sophos Endpoint XDR. After a restart, anything we do, open file explorer and open a browser, the windefend service wigs out. it starts out stopped, but wigging out I mean it starts/stops/starts/stops hundreds of times while the app is loaded. Once browser is up, it goes back to stopped. But the whole time it does this it really slows down the PC. While it is stopped, the PC is fine, fast as ever.

I have tried to set the services to be disabled, VIA GPO, but it stops SCCM from installing
  1. Use the "Find" feature and locate each folder below and click to change "start" from "3" to "4"
    • Sense
    • WdBoot

Looking into this more, I have found that it is the command-line scanner that is spazing out WinDefend service. Although running this "Get-MpComputerStatus" it shows not running
