Windows 10: How do I turn off just the DEFENDER NOTIFICATIONS

Hello All:

I see how to turn off the REAL TIME PROTECTION but that is not what I want to do, I want to stop DEFENDER from throwing up the constant flow of Windows Defender Found Threats & is REMOVING THEM. I don't think I'm going to sites that would give me that much malware. I do have Malwarebytes installed along with Xionix RegServ, and Enigma Soft Spy Hunter (which I believe causes Defender to FREAK OUT with all the messages (I pay for Spy Hunter and don't want to remove it just because Defender seems to find it offensive). I want to leave REAL TIME PROTECTION INTACT but not have DEFENDER notify me every time it finds something/anything, I just want it to automatically REMOVE said item or cope with it via quarantine. HELP!

:)

 

Turning Off Windows Defender Notifications in Windows 10

this is *not* normal behavior.

The PC is either badly infected or Defender is falsely alerting. You need to determine *why* it is alerting, not look to turn off alerts.

Open Defender and review the History. What is listed as having been detected and what action is being taken? Where are the infections being shown as existing?

Defender has become an annoyance to me in Windows 10 as well. I am running bitdefender, so Windows defender is off. Every time I startup, I get the notification that defender is turned off. I have tried turning it on just to get rid of the notification,
but it will not allow me to, probably due to having Bitdefender. I have even gone into settings and turned the notifications off and I still get that one at startup.

 

Windows Defender - Windows 10

How do I make Windows Defender automatically scan my computer when I turn it on?

Otherwise I just get a notification that I need to scan with Defender...

This never happened with MSE...

My computers are not left on all the time.

I will usually turn on desktop in the morning and then turn off.

In the evening I use the laptop but turn it off when finished with it...

Do I have to manually run Defender every time I turn one on ???

Thanks Jerry

 

Hi there. I've searched everywhere within 10's settings and the net, but cannot find a way to turn off Defender notifications. The closest I've found is to enable Quiet hours on the Action Center's task bar, but then all notifications are turned off.

Seems to me that your only choice is to either turn off Defender or uninstall Enigma Soft Spy Hunter if you think that's what is causing the Defender notifications. I wouldn't know, for I use Defender alone.

You may want to wait to see if others may have a solution. Good luck.
