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.

Ok! it’s so fantastic! Thank you very much!
This tool is excellent, but it happens to me that when I deactivate defend, it disappears and then when I activate it again it appears but in icons that are not shown in the taskbar, I have to go back in and activate it again so that it appears again in the taskbar, hopefully they could modify it so that it takes the configuration it has when it is deactivated.
(Esta herramienta esta excelente, pero me sucede que cuando desactivo defender, desaparece y luego cuando lo activo nuevamente me aparece pero en iconos que no se muestran en la barra de tareas, tengo que volver a entrar y volver a activarlo para que aparezca nuevamente en la barra de tareas, ojala pudieran modificarlo para que tome la configuracion que tenga cuando se desactiva.)
Thanks a lot for this great software! I’ve turned the WinDefend (Microsoft Defender Antivirus Service) off at last.

Отличная программа. Спасибо!. Установил на Windiws 11 , без особых сложностей. Пару раз выдал ещё включенному защитнику разрешение не удалять файл. И всё.
