    1. Open Admin Command Prompt and type: gpedit.msc
    2. Manoeuver to: Computer Configuration->Administrative Templates->Windows Components->Windows Defender
    3. Double click on "Turn Off Windows Defender" and select "Enabled" then click "Apply"

    WARNING: After turn off "Windows Defender", you might not be able to turn it back on. I suggest before trying this, make a backup image so you can restore to the way it was.

    Permanently disable Windows Defender

    After disabling Windows Defender with Autoruns (free), I saw no adverse effects at all.
    This works on all versions of Windows 10.



    Note: You have to set "Options" as shown here to get the same view I got in post # 14
