## What is this project?
|
2021-07-22 19:29:03 +00:00
|
|
|
We all know that disabling windefender is very difficult since microsoft is constantly enforcing changes.
|
2021-07-22 19:28:56 +00:00
|
|
|
The first solution is to install an anti-virus - but thats not the point if we are trying to disable it!
|
2021-07-22 19:26:14 +00:00
|
|
|
The next easiest solution is to use freeware thats already available on the internet - but none of them are native & open source...
|
|
|
|
|
I like open source, so I made a safe to use open source defender control.

## On windows updates
|
|
|
|
|
Sometimes windows decides to update and turn itself back on.
|
2022-03-01 15:53:33 +00:00
|
|
|
A common issue is that defender control sometimes doesn't want to disable tamper protection again.
|
2022-03-01 15:53:15 +00:00
|
|
|
Please try turning off tamper protection manually then running disable-defender.exe again before posting an issue.

## What does it do?
|
|
|
|
|
1. It gains TrustedInstaller permissions
|
|
|
|
|
2. It will disable windefender services + smartscreen
|
|
|
|
|
3. It will disable anti-tamper protection
|
|
|
|
|
4. It will disable all relevant registries + wmi settings
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Is it safe?
|
2021-08-08 19:56:59 +00:00
|
|
|
Yes it is safe, feel free to review the code in the repository yourself.
|

|
|
|
Anti-virus & other programs might flag this as malicious since it disables defender - but feel free to compile it using visual studio.
