Is there a way to Permanently disable Windows defender?
Off late there are times when my system comes to a stand still. Forget playing a game doing anything earth shattering, opening even a simple word document takes about 5 minutes. The culprit seems to be Windows defender. More precisely the updates. It seems that whenever it check for or download definitions the entire system becomes sluggish. Tried disabling it via the method mentioned in this thread.
Tried using Avast AV & there is a bit of relief but still about twice a day the system becomes sluggish. When it is sluggish & I click the check for update button it shows defender definition updating. Cannot understand why definitions are being downloaded when defender is turned off. Did some more digging & found a separate signature update section in local group policy editor (screenshot attached). Disabled every sing one of them & still the definitions keep downloading. Is there anyway to stop this?
It almost looks as if Microsoft is hell bent of harassing its customers.
