  1. Windows Defender Real Time Protection, toggle button disabled


    So, my windows real time protection is currently turned off and it seems like the toggle button is blocked. I wanna turn it back on. There aren't any security providers within my device and it is all up to date. How could I fix this?

    :)

    Windows Defender "Real Time Protection" will not disable

    I cannot disable "Real Time Protection" in windows defender on Win 10 Creator Edition.

    I have a 3rd party security software suite from ESET with real time protection so I want to disable the one in Defender. I try and click the slider to "Off" but it immediately bounces back without ever going to off and remains in the "On" position. I have
    disabled the antivirus software of windows defender in the registry but the real time defender toggle does not budge.

    Anyone else have this issue or know of a solution?

    Toggle Windows Defender real time protection via Desktop shortcut

    Unfortunately sometimes it is needed to disable (and later enable again) the (excellent) Windows defender real time protection.

    I require 7 clicks to enable or disable Defender real time protection:
    Systray -> double on icon -> "Virus & threat protection" -> "Virus & threat protection settings" -> Toggle "Real-time protection" -> User Account Control "Yes".

    Is there a simpler way to create a desktop shortcut that minimizes the number of clicks needed?

    Can't find Defender Real-time Protection toggle

    Even with Avast installed, Defender still runs.

    Starting with the Windows 10 Anniversary Update in the Summer of 2016, Windows Defender can actually run alongside another antivirus app. When you install another app, Windows Defender itself isn’t disabled—just its real-time protection component is. That means your third-party app handles real-time protection, but you can still run a manual scan with Defender whenever you want.

    So how can I disable Defender?

    Anyway, I found a way to run the .exe.
