    I don't believe this would stop and disable the service itself. It just disables the real-time capabilities of Windows Defender which an be simply be done through Settings no need for a PowerShell applet.

  • @Ramhound edited for service mgmt with powershell. I'm not 100% it will stop the service without the same issue as net stop service but I have had more luck with powershell and don't believe get/stop-service alias to net-stop
