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 is not working on WINDOWS 11
Please update it ASAP
Hi. There are 2 IPsec processes related to firewalling that aren’t stopped. I am not sure if disabling WindowsDefender only disables antimalware, I guess also disables firewall.
For more firewall disabling, also disable:
Agente de directiva IPsec (policyagent)
Motor de filtrado de base (bfe)
Yes, this was a surprise for us, microsoft messed everything up while preparing the new version, we are looking for a solution.
Windows Defender released an update on September 1st, and I have been unable to disable it since.
IMPORTANT: Before you unzip the downloaded zip file Please turn the real time protection off. To do this ; Windows + R will show you the “RUN” box use the windowsdefender://Threatsettings command to open Virus & Threat Protection settings directly then turn off Real Time Protection.
Windows Defender deletes your program.
Thanks for your feedback.
It’s working perfectly on my two Lenovo ThinkCentre 910S desktops. I had minor skirmishes with Defender and Malwarebytes, but once I convinced them it was OK, everything went smoothly. I’m on Win 10 Pro 21H1 19043.1165
working but need a small fix
Stop working on the last Windows 11 update.

Hi there,
DefenderControl is currently recognized as a virus by Windows Defender. I know it’s not a virus and added it as an exception in Defender. Error message came after the last Windows 10 update.
HOw does one download the software?
It appears that this website offers nothing but unelated unk?
For those asking if it is working on Windows 11, I can say that it is working for me.
I have "Add it to the exclusion list" selected in the menu.
Actually it works but "microsoft defender" reactivate itself, if we fix this , probably microsoft will change protection mechanism again therefore it is better to wait.
