What it does

A large Risk Analysis report is asked from Microsoft Defender in parts. While one part is processed (risk scores, the database), the next parts are already asked, so Defender and SecurityInsight work at the same time. This is the most parts asked at a time.

When set

The number adapts by itself: each report starts at 2, asks more while Defender answers quickly, and halves at once when Defender asks to slow down (it then waits as long as Defender says). A higher maximum lets a large report finish sooner when Defender keeps up; 1 asks one part at a time. The parts are processed in their order either way: the stored findings are the same.

When blank or default

Left blank, the default applies: 6 (never more than 4 per processor core)

Risk and how to reverse it

Only changes how many parts of a report are asked from Defender at a time, so how long Risk Analysis takes: 1 makes a large report take much longer; a higher number can make Defender ask SecurityInsight to slow down more often (it then does). The findings are the same either way. Reversible at once.
