I am using Windows 10 Home Version 1909 OS Build 18363.476

For Workplace login I use VPN which needs up-to-date antivirus, as every vpn mandates. I have Norton Security Ultra updated. Now as I am using Norton AV windows defender real-time protection is OFF and controlled by Norton. (Not able to turn ON real-time protection) . I have installed latest AV definition for Windows Defender as well.

But VPN always throws error as 'Windows Defender 4.18.1902.5' not up-to-date.


I have uninstall Norton and tried then its working fine and able to take latest AV definition from WinDef. When I re-install Norton, now again vpn throws error 'Windows Defender 4.18.1902.5' not up-to-date.

I can see in path: C:\Program Files\Windows Defender\platform\4.18.1911.3-0


I want to remove windows defender completely so that vpn will only look for Norton AV.

Its personal laptop so I tried Registry changes but doesn't work.


OR even if Windows defender points to latest definition so that I can able to login via VPN.


Output from sc query windefend
