1. Save the following files into the same folder.
2. Run Disable Windows Defender.bat as administrator.
3. After the batch file is done, restart.
4. Run Disable Windows Defender.bat again as administrator.
5. Windows Defender should be completely disabled now.

1. Save the following files into the same folder.
2. Run Disable Windows Defender.bat as administrator.
3. After the batch file is done, restart.
4. The latest versions of Windows 10 make it difficult to terminate the "MsMpEng.exe" process, so you will have to boot into a different operating system and rename or delete the Windows Defender folders in Program Files manually before proceeding to the next step.
5. Run Disable Windows Defender.bat again as administrator.
6. Windows Defender should be completely disabled now.
