    "AntiMalware Service Executable" JUST WON'T GO


    • I turned off all protections (RealTime, Cloud, Tampering) from Security Settings
    • Tweaked Group Policy to turn off Windows Defender Antivirus and disable Behavior Monitoring
    • Whitelisted those registry entries when Defender still somehow came up with calling them "threats"
    • Disabled scanning from Task Scheduler
    • Restarted several times

    But this "Antimalware Service Executable" service still sits there hogging my RAM. I'm sick of it, I just want the whole thing gone. How do I do it? someone please help.

    I'm using Windows 10 Education build 19042.662.

    :)
