Since Windows 10, Microsoft has built Windows Defender antivirus software into the system, although this can indeed greatly improve security, but also brought some problems, such as performance, When opening a directory with a large number of .exe files, Defender will occupy a lot of CPU resources, the system will become abnormally stuck; for example, accidental killing, some downloaded system gadgets or software patches, will be mistakenly reported as viruses by Defender, which is very troublesome to deal with.
For many reasons, Windows Defender is still best turned off first, so how to turn off Windows Defender? Especially some friends with computer foundation, with firewalls and HIPS, the system has been relatively secure, and there is no need for Defender to drag the chronic energy or cause the trouble of manslaughter. Today, I will introduce you to two ways to turn off the Windows Defender function.
Method 1 (here take win10 as an example):
1. Use the shortcut key (WIN+R) to call up the run tool, then enter the Group Policy command (gpedit.msc) and click OK.
2. Go to Group Policy in the Computer Configuration below administrative templates, windows components can see the Windows Defender protection option.
3. Double-click Windows Defender, and then double-click to close Windows Defender.
4. Select Enable again and finally decide.
5. Then go to the Control Panel to run Windows Defender to try. You will be prompted that this app is closed by Group Policy. That is to say, this app is now useless and is turned off.
Method two (WDControl tool):
WDControl is a gadget from an individual developer. Its function is simple, it is used to turn Windows Defender on and off. WDControl supports both graphical interface and command line usage, making it easy for you to navigate whether you're a regular user or a computer player.
WDControl provides the ability to enable and disable Windows Defender, which takes effect with one click. This process is reversible, after disabling Defender, back to the normal application scenario, you can turn it on again. But at the same time, WDControl also provides the ability to remove Windows Defender, which will completely delete Defender from the system, and everyone should use it carefully.
There is no doubt that WDControl is a very practical gadget. After confirming the security of the system environment, you can use WDControl to temporarily disable Defender, followed by some software patches, download software you know, and so on.
