In the absence of this consent, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is not able to fully protect your device.

    The mechanism for granting this consent depends on how you deployed Microsoft Defender for Endpoint:

    • For manual deployments, see the updated instructions in the Manual deployment topic.
    • For managed deployments, see the updated instructions in the JAMF-based deployment and Microsoft Intune-based deployment topics.
