| Aug 5, 2015 at 8:18 | comment | added | miroxlav | @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? | |
| Aug 5, 2015 at 8:11 | comment | added | WizLiz | @miroxlav That's why for now I'm using a workarround, which is put the directory from which the application is run in the exception of Windows Defender. However if for any further issue I needed to completely disable it, I'd like to be able to do so. | |
| Aug 5, 2015 at 8:08 | comment | added | miroxlav | I also don't like the 3rd party idea. It was just a question. The best way would be to enhance your question. Maybe it is NOT needed to turn defender off (it is useful) but describe here what exactly you meant by "it is blocking an application". Then possibly a way for adding exception to Defender can be worked out. Help us to help you by working on better question! :) | |
| Aug 5, 2015 at 6:43 | comment | added | WizLiz | @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. | |

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