Windows 10: Disable Windows Defender Permanently

Unlike most reasons for shutting off Defender mine is different. I am using a program called CNC12 from Centroid. Defender running in the background causes errors in the machining process. I cannot install any other antivirus software because it will cause the same issues. I have tried gpedit.msc and the registry method but it keeps turning back on. It is very annoying to have a part that has been machining for hours being destroyed because Defender decided to turn back on. There must be a way around this. This computer is connected to the internet as well as being located in a steel building

Permanently Disable Windows Defender?

Thanks a hell of a lot! I didn't know it turned itself back on after disabling it in Settings, this am when I got up it had deleted something important. I can't afford this happening, even with "exclusions", cos it seems that once something gets swallowed into Defender, you can't get it out of quarantine.

I just did this, Can I get in there and shut off the service now, too? Ah, it's shut off now, but I wanna get rid of the little defender icon. Defender is the one thing left over from earlier versions of Windows I totally despise, although I did use it in Windows 8 for the longest time.
