How to Potentially Disable Windows Defender Permanently

Warning!
Disabling Windows Defender significantly compromises your PC's security, making it highly vulnerable to malware and other cyber threats. Proceed with extreme caution and at your own risk.

Disabling Windows Defender involves several steps, including turning off key protection features and potentially using a batch file for deeper system modifications. While this process aims to permanently disable it, Windows often attempts to re-enable its security features, especially after updates.

Here are the general steps often suggested for this process:

1. Turn Off Real-time Protection:

° Go to Windows Security.
° Click on Virus & threat protection.
° Under "Virus & threat protection settings," click Manage settings.
° Toggle Real-time protection to Off.

2. Turn Off Cloud-Delivered Protection:

In the same "Virus & threat protection settings" menu, locate Cloud-delivered protection.

° Toggle it to Off.
° Turn Off Tamper Protection.
° Still in "Virus & threat protection settings," find Tamper Protection.
° Toggle it to Off. This prevents unauthorized changes to your security settings.

3. Run Batch File:

° You would typically need to download the following batch (.bat) file designed to modify registry entries or services related to Windows Defender.

Download
° Right-click on the downloaded batch file and select Run as administrator. This is crucial for the file to make system-level changes.

4. Restart Your PC:

° After running the batch file, restart your Windows PC. This helps apply the changes.

Note!
Following these steps might lead to Windows Defender being disabled. However, remember the significant security implications.
