Windows Defender detects my scripts as “HackTool:BAT/AutoKMS”
Based on testing on some Windows devices, I have just relized that Microsoft disallowed to use KMS scripts in the recent update. To reconfirm this, I uploaded a batch script file to VirusTotal and here is the result.
There is no offical reason or notification and it just was a quiet event. I think many you guys here were surprised, even shocked as soon as you heard this news. However, Microsoft’s move this time is easy to understand.
1. Batch script is not recommended anymore
KMS commands are developed by Microsoft but the batch scripts are not. They are just contain a batch of KMS commands and written by individuals like me. My purpose of creating the scripts is help you guys save your time instead of running all commands, one by one in the command prompt or Windows power shell. But this method has never been treated as an official method because opening batch file with admin rights is not recommended by Microsoft. For example, if the author inserts the command formatting your disk into the script, all your data will be lost.
2. Batch script is used to fleece others
As you know, my Paypal account has been limited permanently because many people reported me to Paypal and said that I had sold them fake product keys on eBay. Someone has used my name to create an online shop and sell all my scripts. He told buyers a brazen lie that the scripts he sold is the new generation of digital license. It goes without saying people who are willing to spend a few dozen of dollars to order them have never known my site and my work. And they are willing to report the author of the scripts too when they realized the truth without finding out carefully. 🙁
The move of Microsoft will clear all opportunists and swindlers and I’m all for it. I will replace the KMS scripts from all my posts with the manual method in the coming time. Finally, I would like to thank you guys for always standing by my side. Your support and your encouragement mean a lot to me. It only remains for me to thank.
If you would have any questions or concerns, please leave your comments. I would be glad to explain in more details. Thank you so much for all your feedback and support!

Yes, Just copy all the scripts and paste them one file labeled whatever you want dot. CMD
Right mouse click the file and click run as admin, Now it will run all them, one after another. T
I use exclusion for c:\programfile. Now it work fine.
Hi kWong, I’m keep waiting for your reply to another comment with some questions I left here to you in this page my friend, right? A return from you as soon as you can. Thanks a lot and I’ll see you later.
Hi kWong, I wish to ask you the following question: HOW CAN YOU BE CERTAIN THAT THE USER’S SYSTEM DOENS’T GET SOME VULNERABILITY (LIKE VIRUS OR EVEN A PERMANENT OPENED INTERNET PORT TO BE ACCSESSED ANYTIME LATER) SINCE YOU SAY TO TURN OFF ALL THE FIREWALL AND ANTIVIRUS PROTECTION SOFTWARES DURING THE EXECUTION OF THE PROCEDURE (LIKE MCAFEE AND DEFENDER OR ANY OTHER) ??
My question make sense due to the command actions presented on the set of command lines shwon in this website “msguides.com” and some of them correspond to give access Administrator Permission to contact some Host Server Machine through an internet port (with the pre requisite of being online during the execution of such commands with Administrator Rights). Is it all ok for us as users ? Why we dont’t need to worry about such potential dangerous possibilities ?? Please tell me about it as soon as possible !! Thanks, Marcelo.
stop saying non-sense s***s
as i said…
if you know a little about batch scripting you will read it by yourself and check that every command is totally safe
(i’m white hacker from sinister(dot)ly)
so stop making non-sense comments and learn a little about how systems works
I laugh when I read this comment. LOL. It’s better not to say anything if you don’t understand it. Every codes are safe and meant for activation only.
I have an answer for you. I never turned off my firewall, or any type of antivirus, whether it be Defender or some other, and it activated fine.
You are amazing! I activated Office 2016 on my desktop computer using your bat file and zero problems. Off course I turned off all Mcafee and Windows defender firewalls during installation. All programs are working. Do I have to turn off automatic updates or can I allow updates to programs?
Hi Genie (AND ALSO kWong), I just found your very recent and fresh comment regarding the success of the KMS licensing activation procedure and I wish to ask you the following question: HOW CAN YOU BE CERTAIN THAT YOUR SYSTEM DOENS’T GET SOME VULNERABILITY (LIKE VIRUS OR EVEN A PERMANENT OPENED INTERNET PORT) SINCE YOU HAD TO TURN OFF ALL THE FIREWALL AND ANTIVIRUS PROTECTION SOFTWARES (LIKE MCAFEE AND DEFENDER) ??

how to activate windows 10 version 1909 ?
any idea ?
same way to activate window 10

Dude, come on! You can’t just stop making scripts! I tried once to use manual but wasted two hours in vain. But in a few seconds using script I was successful. You can’t man, we love you, we love your work, you make everything easier, and most importantly we believe in and entirely trust you. I helped two schools in my town using your work. I helped many relatives. You are a legend, don’t stop, think of others; like me, and whomever you’ve helped. Every time I use your work on any machine, I disable the antivirus because I know it’s a false alert. YOU CAN’T STOP, YOU CAN’T QUIT. MICROSOFT AND THOSE PEOPLE WHO REPORTED YOU CAN GO TO H**L!!
I don’t know how it takes two hours to type in —
slmgr /skms kms.msguides.com
slmgr /ipk xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx
slmgr /ato
took me all of 1 min to activate
Thank you very much !
Now only 4 engines detected this file at virustotal.
i think a few days later , all engines will say the file is clean 🙂
i think its false positive. i trust and i know the batch file is clean.
Thank you again sir.
THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK! 10/10
Question #1. I have a licenced Office 2019 (\Office15\ folder) that does not have Visio or Project included.
If I use your batch script to convert Office to Volume, will this affect the other Legitimate office products???
Please add a statement about this in your guides. I think it is important for people to know what to do if they have Legit Office Student / Standard / Pro / Office365 Pro Plus / etc…
Question #2. How do you convert from Volume back to the non-Volume “standard” licencing system? How can someone reverse the changes made?
Cheers mate!!! Thank you for answering my questions! 😀
– C2R source is universal, you cannot remove or pick apps files
– C2R ISO is not Retail or Volume, it’s the matter of how do you install it and what SKU you use
with YAOCTRI, you can install Volume directly, with setup.exe you install Retail
Thank you
just except windows defender for folder office, then it will pass.
Just want to thank you for your effort on helping us, too bad hear that news about people missusing your tools.
dude you always be my saviour, im really fan of your work. thanks buddy to always help me 😀
nice works man! thanks for sharing this
Thanks for your efforts to make our lives easier.
I used your guide on how to activate office 2019 and created .cmd file and then auto execute it every a few days using task manager. It’s been great.
I meant, Task Scheduler
Your msguide cmd script for Microsoft Office Pro Plus 2019 tried to activate my webcam.
kWong,
I’m having trouble installing the MSProject 2019.
I disabled my windows defender, and I followed every step on the way for both the batch and the manual steps (including admin rights), and I still can’t activate it.
The process just stops in this step: https://imgur.com/uUnk9Fv
I tried with both 2016 e 2019 versions already.
Is there another way? Or am I missing something?
Thanks in advance!
1st, all method here, fail can reactivate until success.
Don’t have Office project 2019 and Office project 2016 on same PC.
All method here, must run with admin right online as well.
If your third party virus program block activation, disable for a while, retry activation. Then enable virus program.
If still fail at activation, scan your windows system, solve all error found.
restart PC, then retry the above step to activate your Project program.
My Office 2019 is still working normally, has all the updates and Windows Defender has not detected anything. Will my Office 2019 be deactivate in the future? Should I activate by manual method?
As long as activate, no need to do anything.
Enjoy
Change the contents of the file a bit.
I moved all echo commands to new lines (replaced all “&echo” with “echo”) and windows defender no longer detects the script (uploaded to virustotal as well and only eset antivirus saw it)
Ahhhh TYYYYYYY <3
It's works fine, only deactive the WD.
Sweaty, how does one copy text out of a movie on youtube? Please tell me
Google find the answer for your question. Here only provide method for free activation for Windows and Office Program.
Sorry about this bro, you have been amazing offering you knowledge sorry ppl always try to take advantage.

Dear All and kWong,
There is a way to still use KMS activation. Mine failed and I tried different ways. So kWong – please keep up the good work and keep making these activations going as I confirm it still can be done.
Here is the method.
1. Make a folder on the desktop (anyname). Keep the office installer on a separate USB and dont copy in it till you complete the process as under. Otherwise defender will delete the activator file while copying to this folder.
2. Go to Settings-update & Security-windows security-virus & threat protection-vrus & threat protection settings-manage settings
3. Turn off Real time protection, Turn off Automatic sample submission, turn off Tamper protection
4. Click on Add or remove in Exclusions. Click Add exclusion and add the folder you created on desktop. Copy the Office 2019 installer iso and the activaton batch/cmd file to the folder we made on the desktop.
5. Now add the activator cmd files or batch file in exclusions.
6. Add process ‘cmd’ also in exclusions.
Thats it.
Now run as admin the activator cmd/batch file. You may get a red or blue bannertelling you that it is a threat. Just look for ‘Allow’ or Run anyway or More info on the same banner and it will run the files and activate.
Remove now the contents from the folder and re enable all the virus & threat setting and ENJOY!
My internet security program won’t come up any problem to activate Windows and Office program.
Here all method is provide by Microsoft, only server for activation is different between KMS host key members.
I have no hint why Microsoft Defender etc go to stop activation, thanks for your reply.
Isn’t the reason obvious 🙂
The are scared of you !!!
So they are now blocking their own functionality. Anyways, this method works 100 percent. It was so bad otherwise that it even deleted the activation scripts from the USB etc that I tried to copy it from on the system. Luckily i had this stored on cloud as well.
Thanks for your work!
Regards,
Alber
May be Some people sell the same method for money but include Trojan or virus in the method provide. So , Microsoft simply block everyone use the KMS Activation method.
It is not fair for everyone to use this site activation method, Microsoft should only block the one provide with Trojan or virus instead.
keep it up! saludos desde brasil!
So I cannot acivate my Microsoft Office 2019 anymore.?
🙁
you can keep using the batch files, but you have to turn off windows defender for the time being. (not recommend) so if you turn off to do this, be sure to turn right back on
How though? CMD wont even open even if windows defender real-time protection is off.
read my step by step process
I overrided Windows Defender (it says “this is threat”, and I specified that “this is NOT a threat, allow it”. Then WD allow the file to be there and allowed me to run it. However, the message I receive is always “The connection to KMS server failed”…. so I don’t know if the author removed this method server-side.
