I think this method doesn't work for all versions of windows 10.

[@kinozoid9202]

I dont know why but there are no "Microsoft" folder under my policies one there are only two folders which is COMMS and DM idk why Well it fixed as I copy pasted the location and i disabled it. Its working now THANK YOU 😁

For those who are having problem these methods, remember to turn off tamper protection in your windows defender setting before trying these methods.

Bro I can't turn off the Real time protection setting on my computer, if I turn it off, it turns on again, what can I do now?

[@9ktunes]

Same

[@zbhaf1]

Try turning off the defender service. To do it u need to do smth in group policy editor then go to services and disable it completely. Search it up in yt i think theres a tutorial how to do it.

[@ilynpayne7491]

This does not work?😢😢 I have gone through all the steps and it doesn't work

[@arkranum9487]

thats not what im seeing though :( whenever i go onto the virus and threat protection i just see a list of things installed nothing to change settings with :(

[@dirtrider5001]

thanks for the video but i read that it turns itself back on automaticly after a short time, it says that somewhere in the settings for windows defender, and i can say that it does definiatly turn itself back on as i kno i have disabled it multiple times only to be furious at it coming back on by itself

[@triniticoclough6387]

Can’t you just simply remove that key itself just delete it and it will not be there anymore as it was previously will that not work? Why do you have to change the value when you could just simply delete it?

[@sammas7440]

My Windows 10 would not let me disable Defender. I've been trying to run a program that it flagged as a virus and would delete it; no options to let me decide (bastards). It removed all my copies of this file from my various backups. I thought it was my Eset doing it and been troubleshooting Eset off-on for the past couple of weeks, until this morning I figured out it was Defender (I didn't realize Defender was on, since I use Eset as my security). Anyways, Microcrack did not allow me the option to turn off Defender (I even went to Services and it ghosted-out the options for Defender). I finally came across your video and used the Regedit method. Fortunately, I had another backup location of the flagged file that wasn't touched. Damn, worked like a charm. I didn't need to reboot the PC, just did a Refresh. Thanks, Buddy!

[@sammas7440]

Update: Well, I just decided to reboot my PC (after seeing some other's comments) and it's back to the same ol' BS. Defender re-enabled after the restart. I'll need to troubleshoot more.

[@sammas7440]

I found that Defender un-did the Regedit entry. So, I uninstalled Eset and was then able to go into Windows Security to turn off Defender. Windows cried and cried with notifications that this was a bad idea. Then I reinstalled my Eset, with Defender disabled. During the re-installation, there seemed to be some glitching, but it finally settled down and things seem ok. I went back to Windows Secuity and Defender seems to be "gone" now. Fingers crossed!

[@EasyTechGeek]

Oh you did it ❤️😊👍

[@harshrao1828]

hello sir i have problem in my laptop when I open window security option I got blank it shows only 'security at a glance' any solution for this

[@EasyTechGeek]

Sure Click the Start button and in the search bar, type: CMD. Right-click CMD.exe and select Run as Administrator. Click Yes on the User Account Control (UAC) prompt that appears. Once the blinking cursor appears, type: SFC /scannow And restart then run DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth command with the same process. It will repair all the windows files

[@laxmikantgangurde529]

It worked for me.. Thanks 👍

[@jameswawe8584]

Thank you so much brother, it works on windows 11, no signs of antivirus defender anymore. But how will I put it back to its usual place if I have to ????

[@EasyTechGeek]

By undo exactly the same

[@noziigu4671]

Do we just disable it by deleting the file or setting the value back to 0. Also there is no percentage and there is a guy in the comment section saying it doesn't work anymore. Can you update me on this?@@EasyTechGeek

[@LomeChima-us1if]

Finally I got windows from website KEYR (Make sure to include the dot (.) between "keyr" and "org") I like some of the transitions, but sometimes they're a bit too much and are seemingly random. Since we use these persistent elements that transition across pages to indicate some kind of relationship between the previous and the next states, some of your transitions confuse me because I can't immediately see what the relationship is. For example 2:23 of the selectable tiles (which weren't selected) transition into being two switches... does that mean anything? are they related in some way? I see this as random and a bad use of the design language. However, at 1:14 I like the transition from switches to the ticks on a paper, that makes sense to me. Epic presentation tho

I would advise from screwing with registry. Especially for those who are unsure what it is (new users). Just do it in setting like he showed previously.

This no longer works as Windows 10 removes that registry feature after the reboot.

Dear What do you mean by 32 bit at the end of video But we are using 64 bit windows

[@ScienceAfterDark]

Yes, we're all pretty much using 64 bit machines/windows now. But even so, there are still lots of aspects to the Windows OS that are 32 bits in size or smaller (because they don't need to be 64 bits). In this case the dword you create in the registry only needs to be 32 bits, max. It doesn't have to be bigger than that. Any bigger in size, and it's just using up extra wasted space!
