What is ConfigureDefender?
ConfigureDefender utility is a GUI application to view and configure important 
Microsoft Defender settings on Windows 10/11. It mostly uses PowerShell cmdlets (with a few exceptions). Furthermore, the user can apply one of three predefined settings: default, high, and child protection. Some settings require restarting the computer.
The child protection is mostly set to block anything suspicious via Attack Surface Reduction, Controlled Folder Access, SmartScreen (set to block) and 0-tolerance cloud level - also Defender Security Center is hidden.
ConfigureDefender utility is a part of 
Hard_Configurator project, but it can be used as a standalone application.
