Windows defender is the fu**ing bic* and bastard

[@dewitubeX1]

window defender is an offender

[@kenpachizaraki1947]

Straight to the point. Thank you. I used Windows Services to stop Updates, and it still found a way to choke my CPU out. I also noticed Defender doing the same as I checked the issue again. This helped.

[@JimProng]

This worked for me when I did exactly what was shown in the video. It was two am when I had my first attempt, and I was adding keys in the wrong places. Totally my fault. Thanks for video.

On gpedit, i can't see windows defender antivirus. What should i do?

[@MysticalisHere]

whenever i put in DisableAntiSoftware after i restart my laptop it isnt there and things are still getting blocked. help..

[@christone1989]

It works. I could not handle having this malware run in my background and eat away at CPU, forcing me to get updates, and writing things on my disc without my permission. To me this is the definition of malware, when you take away the ability for the user to remove this "protection", it is malware. The best anti-virus is yourself, don't surf shady websites, and don't torrent files.

[@qwertyuiopasdf160]

Yea just don't go to shady sites and download some shady torrents, but as someone who pirates stuff i still need a antivirus and i use avast antivirus or AVG after disabling the stupid defender

[@zakaria9776]

This doesnt work for me Whenever i open administrative template nothing comes Out of it

[@RollingCutter]

I hate windows defender. It's just malware that keeps deleting applications on my computer becuase it thinks it's malware. Super annoying, thanks for the guide.

It doesn't work in Windows 10 19H1 build 18362 while adding DWORD DisableAntiSpyware. It says "Error while renaming Value". Restarting to safe mode, make a registry edit (it should make a value), restart to normal mode but it diasappears when I log back in. Any ideas?

Confirmed! This really happens.

SOLVED by disabling Tamper Protection.

[@switchhazel3517]

I followed your directions but every time I restart or turn on my computer windows defender has turned itself back on and says my antivirus program is turned off. However, when I open up my antivirus program it says its enabled and on. so it seems like both are on except windows says the other is turned off and I have to manually turn it on all the time. It's very aggravating that it appears as tho the 2 are having this constant battle on who is going to protect my system. What else can I do????

Why did you not include the word PRO in your title? This obviously does not work on Home edition.

Can someone please help, I did the first suggested steps to this video about a month ago, everything was working fine, and it was successful turning off my built in anti virus on my windows 10. I am starting to have the same problem as before with my app that I've downloaded, and the app freezes and continues to notify me that I need to disable my antivirus on my pc in order for my app to run efficiently, the problem is, that the built in anti virus is still turned off. I didn't have the problem until my pc/windows did an update, I went back as the instructions are in this video again, and had turned off the antivirus, but I am still having issues with my app, is there something else that needs to be additionally done since my pc did an update? I did revert the update, but, still to no avail, I am having the ongoing issues.

Unfortunately, my version of Win10 is the Home edition - and I can't get rid of this cursed Windows Defender. My Avast antivirus gets shut down with Windows Defender - only Windows Defender almost immediately turns itself back on. Defender gets FAR too many false positives and I can't install some disk install software I know is clean. I hate it. I'd rather just run my Avast.
