Can you set it up to enable automatic sample file submission in your environment? That setting is in Assets and Compliance – Endpoint Protection – Antimalware Policies, find your workstation policy. It’s under advanced, near the bottom named “Enable auto sample file submission to help, blah…” Changing the policy to Yes would get rid of the prompts as they’ll go automatically. That’s what I did anyway.

If you are using SCEP on Windows 8 or newer (Maybe just 10?), I don't think you want to disable it as SCEP basically just leverages Windows Defender and flips on the management switch.
