    Windows 10 Defender options...


    Hello all,

    Recently had to do a clean install; had a local repair shop fix some hardware items and install windows. Now every time I try to boot up a game (multiple times a day) my computer freezes.. Upon checking task manager it's always "antimalware service executable".

    So anyways, (unless someone has a fantastic other diagnostic solution), I'm trying to get rid of defender and its services. I've been going through "the google" and following instructions for changing group policies and etc.

    A couple of things I've ran into that I can't get around:

    • Deleting Defender's native folder: I can't get permission back from trustedinstaller.. When I get in advanced settings and click "change", no dialogue box appears even though all of the guides seem to be showing one appearing.
    • I cannot disable the actual service nor stop the task/app from running

    I can't stand windows trying to lag down my computer with its own software running like a virus. I'm fine with all of the risks associated with disabling / deleting these things.. I'm a pretty cautious browser and haven't made a mistake so to speak in years. I want every piece of this application gone, if at all possible.



    Does anyone have any solutions for me? TIA

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

    Windows Defender Not On

    Hi,



    Welcome to Microsoft Community. Your interest in Windows 10 is much appreciated.



    I would suggest you to try the below methods and check:

    Method 1:

    I would suggest you to run virus scan to make sure the computer is free from virus.

    The Microsoft Safety Scanner is a free downloadable security tool that provides on-demand scanning and helps remove virus, spyware, and other malicious software. It works with your existing antivirus software.

    Microsoft Safety Scanner Download - Windows security



    Method 2:

    Turn the Defender on. Follow the below steps:

    • In search, type Defender.
    • Now make the option ON by moving the slider accordingly.


    Method 3: Run the SFC.

    Follow the below steps:

    • Open Command Prompt.
    • Select “Run as Administrator”.
    • Type “sfc /scannow” without quotes and hit
      Enter.
    Now check for the issue.



    Keep us posted if you face any issues on windows in future. We will be glad to help you.
