Windows 10: Windows Defender causing issues

Hello!


Recently im getting more and more annoyed by the Windows Defender as it takes up 100% CPU by now and i cant open the Service Center because nothing happens when i click it. I cant restart the Service Center Service either because its greyed out for me and i cant change or add Values in the Registry.


My question is how can i disable or reset the Windows Defender? Im so annoyed that it takes 100% of my CPU for basically nothing and i cant do anything about it.


Hope someone can help me out.

:)
