  1. Why is there no way to terminate MsMpEng.exe?


    I have tried numerous methods to terminate MsMpEng.exe, which is using more memory than any other process.This process cannot be terminated in the typical way, because the owner is SYSTEM - a user the supersedes Administrator in terms of permission.Enabling "Turn off Windows Defender Antivirus" does not work - this reverts to "Not configured" after restart.Clearly someone has thought this out and made it impossible to terminate this process. My question is: Why? Why prevent Administrators for having authority over their computer?
