Disable windows 10 defender service. Disable notifications from Windows Defender Security Center

Windows Release 8 brought a built-in antivirus protector to the operating system, which also migrated to version 10 of “windows”.

It works by default until you decide to install some other antivirus software like Kasperskiy or NOD 32.

They will automatically disable the functionality of the built-in software that works with Windows.

Many are interested in the question of how to disable windows 10 defender manually.

You can do this in three ways:

• for a short period;
• through the registry (permanently).
• through the editor local policy(forever).

Why is this needed? The fact is that some games, programs and applications that you plan to install on your computer may not be perceived by the system in a very friendly way.

The defender sees one of the installation files as potentially dangerous and blocks it.

As a result, the installation breaks and you have to look for a way out of the situation. Turning on the software is not so difficult, but more on that later.

Turn off the defender

Local Group Policy

To get started, press the combination Win + R and write the command gpedit.msc.

We are looking for the treasured folder here Windows Defender(in the release, i.e. the final version of the OS, it can be renamed to Defender).

Double-click on the highlighted item shown in the screenshot.

For this parameter, you need to switch the radiobutton (checkbox) to the "Enabled" position, if you still intend to disable the defender.

After that, you can exit the settings and make sure that your actions are correct by viewing this notification.

Edits in the system registry

How to disable windows 10 defender through the registry? To do this, go to the editor of the registry itself. Press the key combination Win + R and enter the command regedit.

There will be a folder with an active defender here, which you need to get rid of by making it inactive.

We create a DWORD value called DisableAntiSpyware, but only if the component was previously missing from the section.

Advice! If you want to disable the defender, set the value to "0". To reactivate the software, use "1".

Now, if the antivirus program will bother you, it will only be rare notifications that it is inoperative and is not able to protect the system from malware.

Reactivate Windows Defender

So, you set out to turn on your defender or don’t know what to do when you see such an inscription.

It occurs in two cases:

• The defender does not work because a third-party antivirus is installed on the PC. In such cases, no action should be taken - the Windows firmware was disabled automatically after the installation of security software.
• You yourself managed to deactivate the program, or there was some kind of failure in the system that needs to be fixed.

In Windows 10, you simply need to click on the message that appears in the notification area. Then the system will bring everything to the proper state.

If you "played" with the settings of the local group policy or the registry, you will have to restore everything yourself, since the system will not be able to start Windows Defender on its own.

Need to go back to system settings and activate the previously dormant service.

Advice! You shouldn't uninstall the built-in Windows Defender just because you feel like it. Firstly, it is an antivirus, albeit imperfect. It prevents various malware from penetrating the system, which is found in abundance on the Internet. It is worth deactivating it only when it is really necessary and you control the entire process.

To ensure your own security, we recommend that you first purchase or download third-party antivirus software that is specifically designed to provide maximum real-time protection for your device.

Which antivirus to choose is up to you, but leaving the machine without proper protection is strongly discouraged.

Hello friends! All of you know that when you install third party antivirus on a computer with Windows 10 built-in windows antivirus Defender turns off, but this does not always happen and some antivirus programs do not stop Windows Defender (for example, free and 360 Total Security).

There is a built-in defender in Windows, which starts working immediately after installing the system. The task of Windows Defender is to protect your computer from malware and viruses.
