Add PUP protection within Windows Defender

Windows Defender has an optional PUP (Potentially Unwanted Program) protection available, but it is not currently enabled by default.  To enable this feature, launch an elevated PowerShell session and enter the following command:

Set-MpPreference -PUAProtection Enable

To verify if the feature is enabled, use the two following commands.  If “1” is returned, the option is enabled.

$Preferences = Get-MpPreference

$Preferences.PUAProtection
