Tamper protection doesn't prevent you from viewing your security settings. And, tamper protection doesn't affect how non-Microsoft antivirus apps register with the Windows Security app. If your organization is using Defender for Endpoint, individual users can't change the tamper protection setting; in those cases, your security team manages tamper protection. For more information, see [How do I configure or manage tamper protection](#how-do-i-configure-or-manage-tamper-protection)?
