    How to kill "Antimalware Service Executable"

    Hello,

    Thank you for your reply. I already tried doing that and disabling Real Time protection, but the "Antimalware Service Executable" task in Task Manager still appears and takes up a small percentage of my CPU when I'm doing things such as installing new software
    or modifying files. I understand that this is part of Windows, but in Windows 7 you had the option to turn off Windows Defender in Services.mcs and prevent it from starting Antimalware Service Executable. I guess this is not an option with Windows 10?

    I do not see why Antimalware Service Executable starts even though Windows Defender is disabled. It doesn't make any sense.

    Anyways, what I did so far was I changed permissions for and deleted C:\Program Files\Windows Defender. While this solves the problem temporarily, Windows Update always places Windows Defender back.
