    Can Defender be configured to scan files only on execution?

    To be confirmed but if I understood well the GPO, it’s possible:

    gpedit.msc
    Administrative Template
    Windows Components
    Microsoft Defender Antivirus
    Real-time Protection
    To be set to be 2:

    I saw this setting, but it seems that "incoming files" = files written to disk and "outgoing files" = files read from disk. Although,I need to test to confirm

    Has anyone noticed that since a recent update (maybe from a month or so ago) Defender no longer respects the "Turn off routine remediation" setting in Group Policies? Malware gets quarantined despite the "Turn off routine remediation" being on
