Nodefender Windows 10

I used NoDefender the first day I installed Windows 10 because I'm very safe with how I use my PC and preferred to disable an unnecessary performance drain. At the time I downloaded it, the site I found it on said I could revert its changes by simply running it again.

I can't find any information on how to disable Windows Defender in Windows 10. There is some information about how to do it in the previews, but the configuration pages have changed with the final release. Specifically, I want to stop and disable the Windows Defender Service. • Using net stop windefend from an elevated command prompt gives 'access denied' • Stop and startup type are greyed out in sevices.msc, even when logged on as administrator • There doesn't seem to be a GUI way to disable UAC in Windows 10 Has anyone figured out how to disable Defender in Windows 10? I found another way using the registry.

Using, I changed the startup type for the Defender services and drivers (!!) in the registry while logged on as an administrator. Here's a brief run-down: • Browse the registry to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE SYSTEM CurrentControlSet Services. • Look for services starting with 'wd' that have 'Windows Defender' in the Description value. A possibly incomplete list is: wdboot, wdfilter, wdnisdrv, wdnissvc, windefend. • Change the Start value for each service to 0x4 (hex 4, decimal 4).

Nothing sane has come from the mouths of their politicians, they appear to be just caving in to Islam on all levels.

Short version • • Extract • Double-click DisableDefender.reg Explanation By far the most effective and clean way to permanently disable Windows Defender in Windows 10 is via Group Policy, as described by Aaron Hoffman. Unfortunately, Windows 10 Home lacks the necessary tools. Here's a registry file that contains the changes made by gpedit.msc on a Windows 10 Pro machine. It's been tested on Windows 10 Home as well. Save the file as DisableDefender.reg with Windows-style line endings and double-click it to import it into your registry. Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE SOFTWARE Policies Microsoft Windows Defender] 'DisableAntiSpyware'=dword:00000001 'DisableRoutinelyTakingAction'=dword:00000001 If you ever want to re-enable Defender, change 00000001 to 00000000 on both lines. You can download the files to disable and re-enable defender.
