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.

I am a chinese. I like the software you developed very much. Thank you for developing such a good software.
It’s more convenient to use without ID. adding ID may not stop bad people. The author’s software is convenient for everyone, not for bad things
Tested. The ID is based on the hard disk
Better than doing nothing,Do you have a better idea?
Defender Control v1.6 – What’s New
1. [Fixed] – False Positive Issue (Some code improvements for the False Positive Issue)
2. [Added] – A unique security code for the defender disable cmd command
3. [Added] – About screen
Lol! do you think you can stop malicious software just adding a ID without a single new feature or fix? they will just use old version.
Firest use “Open command window here” for the “Defender Control Folder” then Use commands like examples ,
Run DefenderControl
Select Menu -> Command line info
In example you can view ID from your PC
Exsamples:
DefenderControl.exe /E
DefenderControl.exe /D /ID:FB17
DefenderControl.exe /D FB17
And run from command line
DefenderControl.exe /D FB17
P.S. I do not know how I can use it 🙁
ID is an unique security code generated automatically for every single Pc And have to be used with cmd “disable” Parameter.We added it against malicious software which using “defender control” to disable windows Defender.
What is ID?, you can explan please?
EDIT : New version published , please use new version

great piece of software. please share it on github in case you loose interest in it one day.
After Matt Cutts , google SEO team has become poor quality, google does not care about software coders this may be the reason. Thanks for your nice comment.
I was looking for ways to disable Windows 10’s Defender for days and weeks. Most websites come up with the same "solutions" apparently just copied and pasted without any testing if these procedures actually do anything. They do nothing at all or provide only short-lived relief from what Microsoft thinks is best for all. Defender Control is the one and only tool which does what it says. Congratulations to this tool. It should be more prominent in Internet search so that more people can actually find it.
Thank you. Very nice tool and it works with 1903 version. What comes next? Only "certified" executables are runable?
