How do I turn off real -time protection?

Hi Rahul,

If you have Windows 10, you are getting the latest antivirus protection with Windows Defender. Windows Defender actively helps in protecting your PC from malware (malicious software), viruses, and security threats. Windows Defender uses real-time protection.

To turn Windows Defender real-time protection on or off, follow the steps below:

• Select the Start button, then select Settings >
  Update & Security.
• Select Windows Defender, then turn Real-time protection
  on or off.

If the on /off button is greyed out, refer to the answer of José Antonio
Pontón Posada CEO on this thread for troubleshooting steps.

MB real time protection

Today about 30 minutes ago, I just started getting real time protection popups. It stating that my real time protection is off. I've tried and tried and it just wont turn on. I found a fix that suggested to run as an admin...and that didn't work. Also restarting my PC didn't work either. Any ideas at what might caused this and how to fix this. Very strange!
