If you don't like or want Defender on your system and you want it Completely Gone, there is a way BUT! You have to add to the registry. Values and Keys and a lot of them. I disabled Defender and installed another AV for testing. Never liked Defender. To give you an idea of how in-depth this is I'll past the Values and Keys from Britec. Defender is so embedded into the Windows system that the average user will have no idea how to remove it. So My Post! Would you go this far? Or would you settle for what Microsoft says you need...
