    How to stop Updates of Windows Defender Definition


    I have disabled Window Defender, but the Updates of Windows Defender Definition are still downloaded and installed.

    How do I stop it?

    I tried to use the Show or Hide updates to hide the Update of Windows Defender Definition, but it did not appear there.

    :)

    Windows Defender definition update times out before finishing install.

    Windows Defender update definitions install stops very near the end and doesn't finish the install before Defender times out and stops without new definitions.

    How do I stop Windows Update downloading Defender Definition Updates

    I'm running Windows 10.

    I have Kaspersky installed and therefore have Windows Defender disabled. However every day Windows Update downloads a Defender Definitions update.

    This is pointless, a useless waste of time and network resource - precisely because Windows Defender is disabled on my PC as I don't use it.

    How do I stop Windows Update from downloading the useless and redundant Defender Definitions updates ?
