Have you ever watch an old movie that people had to pay for protection to the very people that was a threat I.e. the mob. Oddly we are doing the same thing today. We pay for protection from viruses and such to the very companies that put them on your computers. Let's not forget the government. They put so many viruses and such things on our computers to track us and spy on us and deletes information from our devices that we don't think or believe those are virus. We can't buy a program that will protect us from the government and all the company's we pat for protection.

@franzpattison 3 года назад

Ok I just figured it out. Some sneaky update broke the toggle. It still functions silently and blocks programs even though it says it's disabled. In addition to the now mandatory updates, and on top of the temporary toggle which was bad enough, this was clearly patched to break this option, giving users the illusion of control where there is none. This is pretty despotic on Microsoft's part.

@mego7389 2 года назад

This doesn't work anymore. I tried it and on restart, for about a minute I had my system process taking up a lot of cpu and when I checked windows defender it was completely activated again. Also, my right click stopped working immediately after this, so maybe it's retribution for trying to stop our Microsoft overlords from controlling my pc.

Defender Control did the trick however, after many years of fighting this stupid thing. Thank you.

Unfortunately, the group policy editor didn't disable anything. The Windows Defender Antivirus Service is still running in the background using 0-40% of CPU and 130mb of memory (Yes, I rebooted the PC).

@mint_au Год назад

Yeah it conastantly takes up 20-30% of my CPU usage and my frames in games turn so bad compared to my old pc with worse specs that didn’t have windows defender enabled. I’ve turned it off in settings but still uses around 20 at idle it’s so dumb they can’t give you an option to delete it or terminate it in task manager like you can with other apps

@takata979green Год назад

@iDeparture 11 месяцев назад

antimalware execute is im guessing what ur talking about in the task manger that's what its called. its separate from the normal win defender constantly running and spiking cpu cores and temps. simply go into registry editor type this and itll take you right to it "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Advanced Threat Protection" right click it then click new 32bit d word name it DisableAntiSpywar set the value to1. reboot and ur good. telemetry also does this also you can turn it off the same way you turn off the the av

@agoogleuser2507 9 месяцев назад

I agree. I went and not only disabled Windows Defender in the Group Policy editor, I also disabled realtime protection, and it was disabled- until I restarted my computer.... which was part of the process this guy said. I have also noticed that when I leave my computer alone for a while, it looksnas though it restarted, without my permission or anything. No Windows update prompt either. I just go to do something for half an hour and come back to see all the desktop woth all the programs I had open now closed and Windows Defender running.

@iDeparture 9 месяцев назад

@agoogleuser2507 well thats not Windows Defender, but it is part of the av, but it's separate from defender. it's ab scanning its anti-spyware. And yeah, it can only be turned off using the registry, but you have been Windows Pro to edit it. They're other 3rd party tools that can give you access Ideally you'll want to use and this is one of a few programs, but winaero tweaker will force stop it from even installing you wanna do this after a clean install is called in task manager anti mallware executable and windows advanced threat protection in the registry

@nux3960 3 года назад

Thank you sir. I was looking for this for a while, but I've heard a lot of rumors from people who claims that Windows Defender is an essential part of the OS core (Kernel), is that true? cause if so it would be impossible to disable the defender without damaging the system.. I would appreciate your answer. Other thing i have to point out is that when you install a third party AV Windows itself disables The Defender automatically. Anyways the point of disable the antimalware service for me is because I lack of hardcore hardware and it bottlenecks my workflow but disabling any protection would expose my system to harmfull software, so what should I do in this case? thanks and sorry if I am wrong on several things

@WSS_the_OG 2 года назад
