I am running the latest updates of Windows, and I want to remove all anti-virus based protection on my laptop for battery savings.
I've tried going into PC Settings and Windows Defender, but it keeps enabling itself like a spying virus that owns my machine...
I've tried this too:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows Defender]
"DisableAntiSpyware"=dword:00000000
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows Defender\Real-Time Protection]
"DisableRealtimeMonitoring"=dword:00000001
Still it comes back on after a reboot.
I can't disable the service either.
