Option to disable windows defender
Windows keeps deleting files I need, and it has become harder and harder to disable windows defender. I was wondering if you would like to add an option for disabling windows defender?
This can be done by adding some registry keys and modifying gpedit.msc:
Registry
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows Defender → DisableAntiSpyware (DWORD, value 1)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows Defender → DisableRealtimeMonitoring (DWORD, value 1)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows Defender → DisableRoutinelyTakingAction (DWORD, value 1)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows Defender → DisableAntiVirus (DWORD, value 1)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows Defender → DisableSpecialRunningModes (DWORD, value 1)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows Defender → ServiceKeepAlive (DWORD, value 0)
Create new key Signature Updates
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows Defender\Signature Updates → ForceUpdateFromMU (DWORD, value 0)
Create new key Real-Time Protection
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows Defender\Real-Time Protection → DisableRealtimeMonitoring (DWORD, value 1)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows Defender\Real-Time Protection → DisableOnAccessProtection (DWORD, value 1)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows Defender\Real-Time Protection → DisableBehaviorMonitoring (DWORD, value 1)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows Defender\Real-Time Protection → DisableScanOnRealtimeEnable (DWORD, value 1)
Create new key Spynet
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows Defender\Spynet → DisableBlockAtFirstSeen (DWORD, value 1)
gpedit.msc
Computer Configuration → Administrative Templates → Windows Components → Windows Defender, and enable Turn off Windows Defender

Maybe some of the challanges for adding this button would be that windows defender itself would start seeing the winutil as a virus
@ChrisTitusTech I am working on this. I found that System needs to be in safe mode to uninstall Windows Defender. chris if it is okay then I will work on this. Please give me confirmation for me to work on these features and provide some suggestions if you have any.
@padsalatushal wait on this. I'm about to revamp the entire code from @DeveloperDurp to runspaces.
I'm about to do a massive commit and grab PR #67
is it similar to this? https://github.com/qtkite/defender-control
Would be preferable to have it locked behind a few "Are you sure?!" MessageBox.Show's .. 🤣🤣
Maybe something like this lol

@DeveloperDurp LOL Love this!
