Yes, you still can disable Windows Defender in 2021. Smash the LIKE button 👍
Have you ever watch an old movie that people had to pay for protection to the very people that was a threat I.e. the mob. Oddly we are doing the same thing today. We pay for protection from viruses and such to the very companies that put them on your computers. Let's not forget the government. They put so many viruses and such things on our computers to track us and spy on us and deletes information from our devices that we don't think or believe those are virus. We can't buy a program that will protect us from the government and all the company's we pat for protection.
thanks
@@RealSarahJade they are all set up to allow and put viruses on the computer
thanks it works
Use winslap
my antimalware service in Task manager is immortal bruh..
I've done everything. and watched countless video and he wont die
crazy how all the other videos dont help and only show u toturn off real time protection but this one actually helps.
Can't count the times you saved me from throwing my monitor out the window due to a windows problem, thank you !
haa haa
Hahahaha
Than you just don't follow there simple steps hahaha 🤣
Ok I just figured it out. Some sneaky update broke the toggle. It still functions silently and blocks programs even though it says it's disabled. In addition to the now mandatory updates, and on top of the temporary toggle which was bad enough, this was clearly patched to break this option, giving users the illusion of control where there is none. This is pretty despotic on Microsoft's part.
So there is absolutely no way to properly disable it now?
@@franzpattison I dont see MsMpEng.exe eating up my memory anymore in the task manager tho
you are right buddy.
for new security patch, ENABLE item 1,2,4,10... it works
look at my comment above, this fixes that problen, well for now i suppose until another update lol
i hate windows defender, it's automatically delete my game even though there's no virus
They’re might be even on steam there’s games with virus
it uses my pc resources too much while playing games
😂😂😂😂 me too Bro
same issue brohther
Every game has virus files, some are just not harmful to your information on you pc
I have struggled for hours to disable it. This videos saves me.
Thanks!
I don't have enough words to thank you. I was struggling a lot.
0:00 intro
0:06 for newer windows10 versions
4:02 for exceptions
6:24 for 1 click ON or OFF
8:16 outro
i guess
life time saver. thanks i saw your comment and jump to 6:24
Thank you!!!! My PC has been running hot due to defender running a program in the background 24/7 that I could not get to stop. This worked like a charm!
After May 2021 you can no longer disable windows spyware and virus called Windows Defender.
you now also cant roll back updates without it just reinstalling them in the background without even telling you that its using bandwidth. windows is trash.
@SkyLine Architects it's called Windows Virus and Spyware.
@SkyLine Architects leave windows and goto linux bro ;)
you can, i've done it lmao. i cant remember how to do it so im back here :P
Still Works.
Hay Brian, your videos are always so helpful, especially when you are also supporting us Windows 10 home users like me, your the best! :O)
Glad to help!
Unfortunately, the group policy editor didn't disable anything. The Windows Defender Antivirus Service is still running in the background using 0-40% of CPU and 130mb of memory (Yes, I rebooted the PC).
Yeah it conastantly takes up 20-30% of my CPU usage and my frames in games turn so bad compared to my old pc with worse specs that didn’t have windows defender enabled. I’ve turned it off in settings but still uses around 20 at idle it’s so dumb they can’t give you an option to delete it or terminate it in task manager like you can with other apps
Agreed. Not working anymore.
antimalware execute is im guessing what ur talking about in the task manger that's what its called. its separate from the normal win defender constantly running and spiking cpu cores and temps. simply go into registry editor type this and itll take you right to it "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Advanced Threat Protection" right click it then click new 32bit d word name it DisableAntiSpywar set the value to1. reboot and ur good. telemetry also does this also you can turn it off the same way you turn off the the av
I agree. I went and not only disabled Windows Defender in the Group Policy editor, I also disabled realtime protection, and it was disabled- until I restarted my computer.... which was part of the process this guy said. I have also noticed that when I leave my computer alone for a while, it looksnas though it restarted, without my permission or anything. No Windows update prompt either. I just go to do something for half an hour and come back to see all the desktop woth all the programs I had open now closed and Windows Defender running.
@agoogleuser2507 well thats not Windows Defender, but it is part of the av, but it's separate from defender. it's ab scanning its anti-spyware. And yeah, it can only be turned off using the registry, but you have been Windows Pro to edit it. They're other 3rd party tools that can give you access Ideally you'll want to use and this is one of a few programs, but winaero tweaker will force stop it from even installing you wanna do this after a clean install is called in task manager anti mallware executable and windows advanced threat protection in the registry
This doesn't work anymore. I tried it and on restart, for about a minute I had my system process taking up a lot of cpu and when I checked windows defender it was completely activated again. Also, my right click stopped working immediately after this, so maybe it's retribution for trying to stop our Microsoft overlords from controlling my pc.
Can you suggest something else that will work, it is getting on my nerves now like never before.
@@adarshmalodia302 Microsoft is killing all of our PCs with this. At this rate I'm going to get a MAC or Linux
@@mee091000 i didn't thought of that before, it's actually a good idea.
You are the best!! I did everything from editing the registry to doing the group policy thing but NOTHING was working!! Finally the defender control worked like a charm
for new security patch, ENABLE item 1,2,4,10... it works
@@mystorefreeclassifiedsanno1593 what are referring to? What are these items?
But what should be the reason to turn off Windows Defender ....??
Windows defender is a pain. Esp for graphics guys like me. This was super helpful. Clearly and brilliantly explained. Thanks a super ton!
thanks bro 😇,
no more GAME interuptions🤗
defender control is a lifesaver , thanks for the video
Hi, My download of Defender Control asks for a password to open the .rar file. Did yours also. What is password?
This is a life saver tutorial just had to migrate from Vista to win10 and now dealing with these new issue’s that ms have tried to lock me down. 👍🍻🇦🇺
yea and you should not upgrade to windows 11 cuz when right clicking it make go to a extra menu to delete and copy stuff.
It doesn't work. gpedit setting becomes "Not configured" after restart and real-time protection turned-on again.
i have same problem
Same issue. Really annoying. Mining rig keeps restarting because of this like every 3 days.
U forgot to apply mine work here
Well it really work with me
In the group policy you have to right click and choose apply to all and then do what's instructed in the video
Best video guide ever, since i didnt even need to watch it, thanks to instructions on the description!
Breaking News : 2023 No longer possible to create the DisableAntiVirus and DisableAntiMalware keys in the Registry (gives error). On a fresh Windows 10 install on August 2023.
As of jan2024 i followed every step while win10pro and when i restart defender is still on as it was???? :/ No white shield. Please update your video top correct. some of us need offline computers running without defender endlessly getting in the way!!
Thanks Man, Now I Can Finally Play Games Without The Lag Defender Gives Me
I fixed many issue from your videos, best TH-camr ever.
thanks
When I type gpedit in the search bar it doesnt show up group policy edit pls help
you are most probably using non pro windows 10 version like Home so search online for getting gpedit in windows 10 home.
Im looking up group policy editor and its not coming up
I always find satisfaction and helpful in this video for software dev
didnt work at all. after restart, in gpedit it automaticaly turn is back as it was before i did what you showed in the video
and msdefender still running in task manager
Looking at that group editor, glad I stuck with Windows home :). Interesting vid though!
you can upgrade to w10 pro for free
thank you man i just used that tool you suggested its working
Why microsoft so comlecated like this, why we need us by force to keep it runing
Thank you so much for your hard and serious work! Most appreciated!!!
That second Option, pheeeewie, that worked, after allowing each individual part of it when I ran it. But when it ran uncontested. That did the job. Love it. :D
Windows defender control work uff i thought i have lost it thanks mate🤛🏻
WOW! i've been looking for this explanation!!! THANKS SO MUCH MATE!!!
Why would you want too?..Buying A/V in 2021 is ludicrous....As Windows Defender regularly tops the tests
Because it will speed up the pc, it's doing scans for nothing
NOT
My thoughts exactly. I fink this is silly.
To download softwares😂 tap in bro
@@JonathanHernandez-bt4dn fr who does he think he is?
video no longer is valid as due to new update every time a reboot happens it just is back turned on again i want to know if it is possible to actually permanently disable anymore or is it no longer possible do i have to manually turn it off after every reboot
bro i liked and subbed, i respect you for helping me with a problem on my new gaming pc.
i need a roblox hack but couldnt use it bc defender thinks its a virus
Everything I've done has never worked for MONTHS, even the first method you did, when I restarted my PC, in the Group Policy Editor it was changed to Disabled. I thought I did it by accident, so I changed it to Enabled again. Restarted my PC, it was changed to Not Configured. Defender Control did the trick however, after many years of fighting this stupid thing. Thank you.
I wasnt able to disable the windows defender by following the video, when i reset my pc, it goes back on, but the defender control options really works great for me! Thanks!
man your videos really help with annoying windows defender and wish i knew about it much sooner when i first got my first gaming laptop. lol
The next update of windows 10 u cant se nothing to disable at the rask schedule on windows defender folder
Thanks very helpful. The group policy workaround worked for me. Which is downloading the third party software works like magic for those who are having troubles with turning it off under group policy. Also a little tip, you can add the app to exclusion list. Thank you very much
Thank you!
This was a massive help.
I restarted the PC and the Turn off Microsoft Defender Antivirus was still Not Configured even though I had applied Enabled to it.
As usual you are AWESOME and RIGHT ON THE MONEY! I watched a newer video from someone else and it showed 2 different methods (neither was yours) and neither worked. One involved changing/taking ownership and the other involved editing the registry. Your Group Policy hack worked! Thank you!
In absence of third party antivirus software, Windows defender works as a default security feature for Win10.
Although its secndary when antivirus software is seperately installed, therefore disabling Win Defender is fine.
Exactly when I install a 3rd party anti-virus it automatically disables itself
All we need then is a fake antivirus made to just disable this unwanted program
this video saved my finally from windows defender, thanks a lot :)
POV: your an exploiter
Thank you very much - I could not use the Group policy regardless that I have the pro version, still not accessible though. The second workaround is working like a charm! Thank you!
Thanks for video mate.
it didnt work it first says its controled by your administrator when i restart after completing evertthing but when i restart second time it enables itself bakc and my tamper thing is turned off
Fuckin amazing channel, don't know why I just discovered it.
i don’t have any group policy that comes up, i’ve tried everything
Thanks only the last option worked for me
Actually really good advice video.
very informative
When I edit the group policy editor, my changes revert when I restart my computer
Same here.
you have to log in administrator mode
first thing helped me on youtube thanks
Thanks mate, it's worked!
I just did this, and it doesn't work. Every time I restart my PC, it turns the "Real-time protection" back on. Why can't I just disable it, and it stays disabled like it used to.
Same for me man
I disabled the tasks that you said not to delete and after I did everything that you instructed, the tasks in the task scheduler did not return
For anyone having problem with the registry just used the app and reboot your computer and it's fine . Did you see every feature no longer works Microsoft have done something sneaky to it so the best option is the window defender disable app it works for me
Good job Brity
Yeah.... it gets back to normal every time i restart my computer.. it does not save. Any help????
same
Hi Brian, Why is it good to turn off windows defender? If yes should I install another antivirus?
Thank you for your useful video!!!
Omg thank you soo much!!! you are the best.
I did need to watch another video because my gp edit was not showing up but besides that this was great!!!
keep it up!
:]
No problem 😊
Thanks for this, could not turn off real-time scan without the software. You could toggle it off but it would enable itself again at some point spiking temps and CPU usage
@us na Play the video it tells you towards the end. Its called defender control
Best Ever Video ! Very useful
You are the best Britec
Best tutorial ever. Thanks Brian.
britec, so about 2 months ago my pc (windows 10) was all norma,l i could play games normal and stuff, but passed 2 months (now) my apex was crashing along with my pc, i tried all kind of stuff to fix it but no success, so im asking if a reboot will help fix the problem or if you have anything that can help me, i just want to play with my friends again.
when I enable "Turn off Microsoft Defender Antivirus" it goes back to Not configured situation right after I close the GPEDIT tab. what should I do?
thank you very much
that was helpful :)
This method no longer works. You need the 3rd party app for it to work. It works perfect. The zip file will ask for a password. Thats the correct one to get!
Where can I find this file? I’ve been googling and I’m unsure which to pick
for new security patch, ENABLE item 1,2,4,10... it works
This has been patched is there another way to remove defender.. Registry did not work for me either.
not working as of december 2021
best way to disable windows defender )
Group policy editor isn’t there for me
dont work. after restart, gepedit`s TurnOff...... is still Not configued and RealTime is ON.
YOU SIR, ARE A GENIUS
You can disable Windows Defender, but trust me, when you do a update, windows will detect it and turn it back on without your knowledge. Windows 10 has a security default setting that when you turn off security related in a real copy or cracked copy of windows, it will be turned back on. you might think it's off, but the reality in services, you will not have the full control of options. windows will disable you rights to control windows defender once you do any windows updates, that also means even when you doing a driver update through windows, windows will search for defender every time you do any type of windows update.
Antimalware is still active and still hogs resources in the task manager...
Virtual machines can run slow, the fault being Windows Defender, so was hoping to remove Windows Defender from the virtual machine completely. Saw a different channel, in a different video, recommend IObit, but scanning the file flagged it as malicious. There seems to be no absolute way to get rid of this windows-cockroach. Inbetween solutions are still helpful of course, thank you :)
its a mystery how you start local group policy, but what have only do pc for 30 year,
Better explanation and/or easier pathway
Broooo you are king of the kings 👊👊🔝
and lord of lords lol
i can't open local group policy editor,how to fix that
this is for windows professional. home edition doesn't have the group policy editor.
no longer working
I've been following your videos for such a long time. (not always subscribed, because of this and that. Sorry lol)
And i love your way of explaining things. So clear. I just love it. It's my way.
Lately i watch your videos because i just need to be up to date in the pc world (because of work etc).
But mostly i keep loving your videos because it helps my mom and my friends who are not "very good" with pc's and all the "options".
You are a hero in my opinion. Thank you!
Welcome back!
Awesome! I finally learned how to re-enable Windows Security and Updates! So relieved now that i've got it all under control again.
Doing what you said to do in this video not only didn't stop the AntiMalware task, it DOUBLED memory and CPU usage
Thanks man!
This used to work but since i've been on version 20h2 it disregards the group policy editor after restart. Any fixes for this?
Thank you so much!
it was very helpful
sept 20201, thank you very much. This method works and keeps defender disable even after restating the pc.
20201? What a Year!!!! just picking
