    Why Real Time Protection is disabled and I can't enable it anymore


    Firstly I tried "Reset This PC" feature but this didn't help at all. Secondly I reinstalled Windows 10 directly by using the setup.exe of Windows 10.iso that was downloaded by MediaCreationTool20H2.exe but this also didn't help at all. Thirdly I reinstalled Windows 10 indirectly by first installing Windows 8.1 and then back Windows 10 but surprisingly this also didn't help at all. Why Real Time Protection is disabled and I can't enable it anymore? What keeps it disabled, greyed out and prevents me from enabling and turning it ON? Do I need to buy a new PC with Windows 10 to have it enabled?

    :)

    real-time protection

    Hi Zmnakohama,

    This is Will C an Independent Advisor and I will be happy to assist you with this. I understand that you are trying to disable realtime protection from Windows Defender.

    Try these steps to disable the Real Time Protection feature of Windows Defender.

    First, in newer version of windows there is a feature called Tamper Protection, this has to be turned off first, otherwise real time protection will just come back on sometime.

    To turn Tamper Protection OFF:

    1) Go to Windows Security ( just type Windows Security in the search box)

    2) Under Virus & threat protection, look for Virus & threat protection settings then go to Manage settings

    3) Switch Tamper Protection to Off

    To disable real-time protection:

    1) Open Local Group Policy Editor (search gpedit by typing it in the search box)

    2) Go to Computer Configuration then Administrative Templates

    3) Under Windows Components, go to Microsoft Defender Antivirus then Real-time Protection

    4) Enable Turn off real-time protection

    5) Finally, Reboot

    Hope this helps. Have a great day!
