Windows 10: Stop windows defender so I can install bitdefender

How can I stop windows Defender so I can install Bitdefender

:)

 

Removing Bitdefender Free

I had been using Bitdefender Free and decided to go with Windows Defender. I uninstalled Bitdefender through apps and programs, but Win Defender still saw Bitdefender as the default AV and would not load. I went through the Windows 10 registry and deleted
all instances of bitdefender and the gziface.exe executable, but Win Defender still reports that another AV program is in operation and will not load.

BitDefender is the only AV program ever installed on this computer so I know that is what Win Defender is objecting to.

How can I get all traces of BD off and activate Win Defender?

Hi:

>>I have never used BD, but....

AFAIK, most (all?) of the major 3rd-party AVs will automatically disable WD when you install them.
Unless BD specifically advises to manually disable WD first, you ought not to need to do that.

But here is a tutorial:

Windows Defender - Turn On or Off in Windows 10 - Windows 10 Forums

You can always go into the Control Panel afterwards to check that it is off after you install BD.

Thanks,

Yeah I've installed Mcafee Internet Security 2016, Kapersky Internet Security 2016, Trend Micro Antivirus + Security, and Bitdefender Antivirus plus all on Windows 10 workstations. During each, Defender was disabled and did not interfere.

 

Man, you sure used lots of paid antivirus.

 

I didn't pay for any of those licenses. These were all work computers.

 

You should also disable WD's services to ensure no interference. Run CMD as admin and copy/paste:

reg add "HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows Defender" /v "DisableAntiSpyware" /t REG_DWORD /d "1" /f
reg add "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Sense" /v "Start" /t REG_DWORD /d "4" /f
reg add "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\WdFilter" /v "Start" /t REG_DWORD /d "4" /f
reg add "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\WdNisSvc" /v "Start" /t REG_DWORD /d "4" /f
reg add "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\WinDefend" /v "Start" /t REG_DWORD /d "4" /f

 

Thanks to you all I finally got Bit defender Installed and windows defender is off. Thanks again Jerry *Smile
