Good afternoon, comrades. You have no idea how the standard antivirus from Microsoft made me angry today, just so much that I wanted to completely disable it, and so that the time spent on disconnecting was not wasted, I decided to write everything in step by step instructions so that it helps you too. Why did it come to this? Yes, because at the end Microsoft at the end got insolent and began to add to the list of "Infected" some system programs that allow installing drivers (I think there are other programs). I already use mostly licensed software, I didn’t even spare the money to buy Mirilias Action (although there are free analogues), but like everyone else I have some programs for which I’m not ready to give $ 100, and they are very rare for me, but needed. But they have already added to the list of infected all the activators that are on my computer, I had to add folders to exclusions and download again. In general, this pseudo-antivirus got me. I think it is already clear what he is really fighting with. So we will turn it off.
Of course, I would recommend you to install some third-party antivirus and use it, especially when you install another antivirus, all the protection built into the system is automatically turned off. But I'll go for the tough option.
Disable Windows Defender through a registry entry.
In order to keep your computer safe and simplify the instructions, I recommend just downloading the files from the link. And use them. By clicking on the link, you will see two files:
Windows Defender- OFF.reg- turns off the built-in antivirus and prohibits their use.
Windows Defender - ON.reg- returns everything to the "factory" settings.
Just download desired file and run it. When asked about making changes, click "Yes".
If you are confident in your abilities and are sure not to screw up. Here's what you need to do.
Go to the branch (create branches if necessary)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Policies \ Microsoft \ Windows Defender
create in it dword parameter DisableAntiSpyware with the meaning 1
Go to the branch:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Policies \ Microsoft \ Windows Defender \ Real-Time Protection
And create three dword parameter:
DisableBehaviorMonitoring with the meaning 1
DisableOnAccessProtection with the meaning 1
DisableScanOnRealtimeEnable with the meaning 1
To return everything to the factory settings, you must delete these parameters.
2. Disable the built-in Windows antivirus using the Group Policy Editor.
As if all the settings used in the Group Policy Editor are in the registry, and in essence, this part of the instruction performs the same actions as the first. But here is a graphical shell, not string parameters. Therefore, for some, this method will seem more convenient, but it's not difficult for me to describe it;)
Launch the "Run" utility by pressing the keys Win + R and enter the command gpedit.msc
We go along the path "Computer Configuration" → "Administrative Templates" → "Windows Components". Open the Endpoint Protection branch (I understand that most likely Microsoft will soon rename Microsoft Defender to Endpoint, but at the time of this writing, the name is old. In early releases, the branch was called Microsoft Defender, but in some assemblies it may be called Windows Defender). And open the "Disable Endpoint Protection" option.
User question
Hello.
Help disable defender in Windows. I am trying to install one game and it is blocking it. I have already checked the game with Dr.Web CureIt! - no viruses were found, everything is fine with her.
PS I did not include the defender, did not download, did not install. He himself appeared out of nowhere ...
Hello.
Defender is preinstalled in Windows 8 and 10 by default (Microsoft considers it necessary for the OS to have some kind of basic protection against spyware, adware, viruses and other "good"). Therefore, after installing (or updating) Windows systems 10 - Defender (its English name) will be installed and launched by default.
And, for example, I support Microsoft in this regard! The only thing I can't understand is why it is impossible to build in the normal shutdown of this defender, so that it is enough to press one button in the menu (and not climb the registers, entering various keys ...). The question is rhetorical ...
And so, to the heart of the matter.
A warning! Although many "scold" the defender, nevertheless, he provides basic protection PC from viruses and other malware. And if it works for something, it is possible that by disabling it, you can pick up a virus. Be careful, and additionally check the files with third-party antivirus utilities.
Through the control panel (temporarily)
The first and easiest way is to use the panel Windows management... However, I will immediately note that such a disconnection is temporary character and after rebooting the device - the defender will be back at work. Convenient when you want to install or do something that the defender is blocking.
1) And so, first open the START menu / parameters.
- or the "switch" for on / off will be immediately visible. defender;
- or there will be a link to the defender's security center (this is in newer OS versions). I will consider just this option (screen below).
Next, you need to open the "Protection against viruses and threats" section (pay attention to the icon itself, since the sections are not always signed). In this section, open the link "Protection against viruses and other threats".
Actually, now you can turn off real-time protection against viruses, turn off cloud protection, etc.
Through the Group Policy Editor (permanently)
In order to permanently disable the defender, you must use either the registry or the group policy editor. It is easier and faster to do this through the Group Policy Editor, but it is not available in every Windows versions(for example, in the home version it is not).
If the editor does not open for you, you can use the following method, or upgrade your Windows OS to the Pro version.
And so, how to open the Group Policy Editor:
- press a combination of buttons Win + R(note: the "Run" window should appear);
- enter command gpedit.msc and press Enter.
In the editor, open the section (in the menu on the left): "Local Computer -> Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Windows Defender Antivirus" .
Local Group Policy Editor (clickable)
In the parameter, move the slider to the "Enabled" mode and save the settings.
Turn off the defender through the group policy editor (clickable)
Thus, after restarting the computer, the defender itself will be turned off! However, there is more ...
We have not disabled various options for monitoring the system, scanning the downloaded data, etc. All this must also be disabled. This is done in the same section, the full address: "Local Computer -> Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Windows Defender Antivirus -> Real-Time Protection" .
In this subsection, there are several parameters that need to be set to "disabled" (as in the example below):
- enable behavior monitoring;
- check all downloaded files and attachments;
- service the activity of programs and files on the computer;
- enable process scanning if real-time protection is enabled.
Disable real-time scanning (clickable)
Through the system registry (forever)
The system registry causes some discomfort for many novice users. In fact, the registry editor is no different (in appearance) from a regular explorer: sections (folders) are displayed on the left, parameters are on the right. Both can be edited, created, deleted just like regular files.
And so, first you need to open registry editor... You can do it like this:
- press a combination of buttons Win + R ;
- enter command regedit, click OK.
To help! 5 ways to open registry editor(in any windows!) even if it is locked -
- open section Computer \ HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Policies \ Microsoft \ Windows Defender
- create a string in it DisableAntiSpyware
- open it and give it the value "1" (no quotes). As a result, it should turn out exactly the same as in the screenshot below. I have highlighted everything I need!
Pay attention to the parameter when creating it. Requires DWORD (32 bits)!
After that, you need to create a section Real-Time Protection(i.e. folder) in the Windows Defender section (folder), and in it create:
- DWORD parameter (32 bits) named DisableBehaviorMonitoring
- DWORD parameter (32 bits) named DisableOnAccessProtection and assign it the value "1";
- DWORD parameter (32 bits) named DisableScanOnRealtimeEnable and assign it the value "1";
- DWORD parameter (32 bits) named DisableIOAVProtection and assign it the value "1". An example of what should turn out is presented below.
Actually, it’s just that simple (difficult?) You can disable the defender. By the way, after the changes made to the registry, do not forget to restart your computer.
Also, the defender is automatically disabled when installing most modern antiviruses (however, I emphasize that not all!). Why is there not one more way for you? And it's not a problem to turn off a modern antivirus for a while, an example in the screenshot below with Avast.
Add-ons are welcome.
Hello everyone! Many Windows 10 users are faced with the problem of the need to disable the built-in antivirus. There are situations when you need to turn off the automatic protection from viruses. For example, the Defender very often swears at or hacked games.
Today I decided in this article to talk about how to disable Windows 10 Defender permanently... I would be glad to receive your comments and additions!
1. What is Windows 10 Defender?
This program has protective functions, warning your computer against malicious software. For the most part, Defender is an antivirus from Microsoft. It continues to perform its functions until another antivirus appears on the computer, since most of them turn off the "native" protection of your computer. The research carried out made it clear that Windows Defender has been improved, due to which, its functionality has become similar to the functionality of other antivirus programs.
If we compare which is better - Windows 10 Defender or antivirus, you need to understand that there are both free and paid antiviruses, and the main difference is the degree of protection they provide. In comparison with others free software- The Defender is not inferior, and as for paid programs, it is necessary to individually assess the levels of protection and other functions. The main reason for the need to disable the antivirus is that it prevents the installation of some applications and games, which causes discomfort to users. Below we will provide information on how to disable Windows 10 Defender.
2. How to disable Windows 10 Defender temporarily?
First you need to find the Defender settings. The technique is simple, I tell you step by step:
1. First of all, go to the "Control Panel" (by right-clicking on the "Start" menu and selecting the required section);
2. In the "PC Settings Settings" go to "Windows Defender":
3. When the program starts, it should display "Your PC is protected", and if this message was not there, it means that there is one more anti-virus program on the computer, in addition to the defender.
4. Go to Windows Defender. Way: Start / Settings / Update and Security... Then you need to deactivate the "Real-time protection" function:
3. How to disable Windows 10 Defender permanently?
The above method will not work if you need to disable Windows 10 Defender permanently. It will stop working, but only for certain time(usually no more than fifteen minutes). This will allow you to perform those actions that were blocked, for example, activating the application.
For more radical actions (if you want to turn it off permanently), there are two ways: using the local group policy editor or the registry editor. Remember that the first item will not work for all versions of Windows 10.
For the first way:
1. Call the line "Run" using "Win + R". Then enter the value "gpedit.msc" and confirm your actions;
2. Go to "Computer Configuration", then "Administrative Templates", "Windows Components" and "EndpointProtection";
3. The screenshot shows the "Disable EndpointProtection" item: hover over it, double-click and set "Enabled" for this item. Then we confirm the actions and exit (for reference, the function was previously called "Turn off Windows Defender");
4. The second method is registry-based. Using Win + R, we write in the value regedit;
5. We need to get in the registry to "Windows Defender". Path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Policies \ Microsoft;
6. For "DisableAntiSpyware", select 1 or 0 (1 - off, 0 - on). If this item does not exist at all, you need to create it (in DWORD format);
7. Done. The defender has been disabled, and restarting the program will show an error message.
4. Disable Defender on other versions of Windows
For Windows 8.1, there are significantly fewer steps to complete. It is necessary:
1. Go to "Control Panel" and go to "Windows Defender";
2. Open "Options" and look for "Administrator":
3. We remove the checkbox from "Enable application", after which a corresponding notification will appear.
5. How to enable Windows 10 Defender?
Now you need to figure out how to enable Windows Defender 10. There are also two methods, as in the previous paragraph, and the methods are based on similar actions. As for enabling the program, this is also an urgent problem, since users do not always disable it on their own: the use of programs that are designed to disable spyware also become the reason for disabling the defender.
First way (using the local group policy editor):
1. Remember that for the "Home version", this way will not work, since it simply does not have this editor;
2. Call the "Run" menu ("Win + R"), enter the value of gpedit.msc, and then click "OK";
3. Directly in the menu itself (folders on the left), you need to get to "EndpointProtection" (via Computer configuration and Windows components);
4. In the right menu there will be a line “Disable EndpointProtection”, double-click on it and select “Not configured” or “Disabled”. You need to apply the settings;
5. In the EndpointProtection section, select the "Disabled" ("Not configured") mode in the "Disable real-time protection" column (Real-time protection). Apply the settings;
6. For the changes to take effect, you must click "Run" in the program menu.
Method two (using the registry editor):
1. We call the service "Run" ("Win + R") and enter regedit. We confirm the transition;
2. In the menu on the left, find "Windows Defender" (The path is the same as with shutdown using the registry);
3. Then you should find in the menu (on the right side) the parameter "DisableAntiSpyware". If it is present, you should click on it twice and enter the value "0" (without quotes);
4. This section should have an additional subsection called Real-Time Protection. If it is present, you should also click on it twice and enter the value "0";
5. Close the editor, go to the "Windows Defender" program itself and click "Enable".
6. How to remove Windows 10 Defender?
If after all the items you still get errors in Windows 10 Defender (error code 0x8050800c, etc.), you should call the Run menu (Win + R) and enter the value services.msc;
- The "Windows Defender Service" column should indicate that the service is enabled;
- If there are various kinds of problems, you need to install FixWin 10, where in the "System Tools" use "Repair Windows Defender";
- Then check system files OS integrity;
- If there are points Windows recovery 10 - use them.
And finally, let's consider the option of how to permanently remove Windows 10 Defender from your computer.
1. First of all, you need to disable the defender program in one of the above ways (or install the program "Do not spy" and select the item "Disable Windows Defender, applying the changes);
2. After you have disabled it, you should restart your computer and install "IObit Unlocker";
3. The next step is to launch the IObit Unlocker program, where you should drag the folders with the protector;
4. In the “Unblock” column, select “Unblock and remove”. Confirm deletion;
5. It is necessary to perform this item with folders in "Program Files X86" and "Program Files";
6. The program components have been removed from your computer.
I hope the information on how to disable windows 10 defender helped you.
