How to kill "Antimalware Service Executable"

Hi Kirill,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community and being a part of Windows 10.

I understand your concern about turning off Windows Defender. We will help you with this issue.

Antimalware Service Executable is one of the Windows processes which are supposed to be running on the operating system and hence you do not have permissions to end the process.

As you are trying to turn off the Windows Defender, I suggest you to use Group Policy to turn off Windows Defender and check if it helps.

NOTE: Local Group Policy Editor is only available in the
Windows 10 Pro, Enterprise, and Education

Follow the below steps:

• Log-in as an administrator, press Windows + R keys from the keyboard, type
  gpedit.msc and hit Enter.
• If prompted by UAC, click on Yes.
• In the left pane of Local Group Policy Editor, navigate to the location:
  Computer Configuration/Administrative Templates/Windows Components/Windows Defender/Real-time Protection
• In the right pane of Real-time Protection in Local Group Policy Editor, double click/tap on the
  Turn off real-time protection policy to edit it.
• Select (dot) Enabled, click/tap on OK
• When finished, you can close the Local Group Policy Editor if you like.

NOTE: It is not recommend for the users to turn off Windows Defender is
a built-in security software on Windows 10 Operating System. It will help you to scan for viruses and keep the device safe from any malware infections.

Hope it helps. Get back to us for further assistance on this issue. We will be happy to help you.
