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.

EDIT: Please use v1.5 , we have fixed this Issue
Hi sordum,please update this app,its not work in 1903 19H1 18362.53 build.
In Windows 10 1903, this app not working anymore. Not disabling.
We are trying to remove all false positive with contacting Av firms
I don’t know why but the default Win10 v1607 Windows Defender app along with the default WD definitions (from 7/16/2016) is detecting and removing the Defender Control 1.4 (defendercontrol.exe) app. updating the defender av defitions to the latest ones seems to stop that behavior.
Great job!
Thanks for sharing batty
you can make a script to toggle the realtime protection on /off also
1: Open Notepad and paste the following in it. Save it with the PS1 file extension
$preferences = Get-MpPreference
Set-MpPreference -DisableRealtimeMonitoring (!$preferences.DisableRealtimeMonitoring)
2: Save it with the PS1 file extension
3: Right-click on an empty area on your desktop and select Shortcut. Paste the following in the
‘Browse’ box but replace the ‘Path to script’ with the actual path to the script you created
4: %SystemRoot%\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File “E:\Programme\deftoggle.ps1”
Once you’ve created the shortcut, right-click it and select the ‘Run as administrator’ option.
When you run the script and Windows Defender is disabled, you will see a pop-up telling you that it’s been disabled. Rerun the script to enable windows defender again.

Enables it if disabled, disables it if enabled.
