Since Vista,Microsoft Defender is included with Windows . It’s a small piece of software that runs in the background to help protect ,your computer from malware (malicious software) like viruses, spyware, and other potentially unwanted software. Some spyware protection is better than none, and it’s built in and free! But… if you are already running something that provides great anti-malware protection, defender will probably wasting precious resources , there’s no need to have more than one application running at a time.
The problem with all Defender versions in Windows Vista and above is it’s integrated into the operating system and installs by default with no visible or hidden option to uninstall. Many people are looking for ways to disable or remove it from their system as they prefer to use other software , for example on Windows 8 and 10 you cannot turn off Microsoft Defender completely anymore , A click on Settings in Microsoft Defender opens the control panel for the program in the new Windows Settings application. You can turn the program’s real-time protection off temporarily, but if it’s off for a while Windows will turn it back on automatically. It is unclear why Microsoft made the decision to change the behavior of Microsoft Defender in this regard. What is certain however is that it will annoy users who want to disable it permanently on the computer they are working on. Defender Control is a small Portable freeware which will allow you to disable Microsoft Defenderr in Windows 10 completely.

Defender Control has no silent parameter support
I would like to include this app inside my updated Win10 images so that I can automate turning off Defender during install. Are there are any switches or parameters we can run that will turn Defender off, something like DefenderControl.exe -s -off -x (silent, turn off defender, exit). This way it could be called during (or right after) install so that Defender never really runs on installs. Thanks!
I’d like to suggest only one toggling button for turning Disable/Enable Windows Defender.
We have one
Web Link …
Hello,
Nice Software, quicker than using gpedit 🙂
Maybe it could be better if you add the Microsoft Firewall control too!
This is a great software. Thank you so much for making it free.
It would be nice if you would make a program in Russian.
Make the program Russian language.
Thank you , we will check it
there’s more. clicking on DefenderControl’s “Launch Defender” button in Windows 10 RS5/v1809 produces error message “could not find MSASCui.exe file”
That is because Microsoft removed the MSASCui.exe file in the October 2018 [1809] update. the old/classic Windows Defender UI is completely gone in the RS5 release.
I use this useful app.
Thanks.
Thanks for the Info we will check it.
current version of Defender Control mostly (but not completely) compatible with windows 10 october 2018 update – see previous comments
update Defender Control to be compatible with upcoming 1809 release. v1809 uses different EXE file (SecurityHealthSystray.exe) and the new startup registry entry is renamed to “SecurityHealth” as I recently found out in an online forum
