How To Turn Windows Defender Off
There may be several valid reasons why you’d want to turn off Windows Defender on your computer. Maybe the service interferes while you’re gaming on your PC? Or maybe you’re a developer and it detects non-virus files as viruses?
There are both advantages and disadvantages to turning the feature off. Disabling it will stop the issue you’re currently facing, but it will make your computer vulnerable to many threats.
If your ultimate decision is to turn it off, there are multiple methods to do it. If you’re on the Home version of Windows 10, the first two methods will work for you as the third method requires Local Group Policy Editor which you won’t have on your computer.
