Smartscreen functionality side by side with the Cortex agent on FAT-Client (not Server)

Hello dear community,

the Cortex XDR agent disables Windows Defender on FAT-Clients automaticly.

Does Smartscreen in "App & Browser Control" still work in this state?

Thank you for reaching out to the Live Community. Please allow me to address your questions.

Assuming that Fat-Client has workstation OS. Cortex XDR will disable the smartscreen settings, hence it won't work as Cortex XDR will prevent it.

Please mark the response as "Accept as Solution" if it answers your query.
