2Would you be fine with installing another antivirus software which will automatically disable Windows Defender as no longer required?– miroxlavCommented Aug 4, 2015 at 20:42

You need to list all your attempts specifically or we will all be guessing.– MoabCommented Aug 4, 2015 at 23:58

@miroxlav I'd rather avoid another antivirus software (I'm already using malewarebytes) and in general avoid any third party software that disable Windows Defender. I assume its possible to do it within Windows itself.– WizLizCommented Aug 5, 2015 at 6:43

4@WizLiz - but exception for safe applications defined at threat-prevention software (e.g. Windows Defender or antivirus) are not considered a workarounds! It is valid solution. It is the goal of the exception list. If the exception works, keep it as it is, there is no other more recommended way like this. Do you really think it is better to disable your protection software instead?– miroxlavCommented Aug 5, 2015 at 8:18

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. windows-7), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
