If you check the command switches used, you will notice the undocumented switch /EHB. Also, the _HB part is a strong indicator that this is what is triggering the Heartbeat reports. If you compare the last run time with the Malicious Software Removal Tool log, you will notice that they match. Right-click on MRT_HB and select disable from the context menu.Use the sidebar folder structure and go to Task Scheduler Library > Microsoft > Windows > RemovalTools.Tap on the Windows-key, type Task Scheduler, and hit the Enter-key.Make sure you have proper antivirus software installed on the device. Note: Disabling the task disables automatic MRT scans on the system. If you check the Task Scheduler for MRT related tasks, you will eventually find the one task that Windows uses for that. Since MRT is run automatically, it must be triggered somewhere. Option 2: Disable the MRT Task, or Disable Heartbeat Telemetry Double-click the newly created Dword and set its value to 1.Name the name Dword DontReportInfectionInformation.Right-click on MRT and select New > Dword (32-bit) Value from the context menu.Navigate to the key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\MRT.Tap on the Windows-key, type regedit.exe and hit the Enter-key.I will monitor the situation and will update the article with my findings later. Note: Since Heartbeat is only triggered when automatic scans are run, it is too early to say if setting the key disables the sending of reports completely. Subkey: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\MRTĮntry name: \DontReportInfectionInformation If this registry key value is set, the tool will not report infection information back to Microsoft.
