177How To Permanently Disable Or Enable Windows Defender In Windows 11
On Windows 11, Microsoft Defender Antivirus is the default anti-malware solution to protect your computer and files from unwanted viruses, ransomware, spyware, and other forms of malware and hackers. While it is considered one of the best antivirus software options for PCs, you might still find yourself in situations where you may need to permanently (or temporarily) disable the protection.
For example, if you don't like the security solution for personal reasons. You have to change system settings that are conflicting with the antivirus program. You are setting up a kiosk device that won't connect to the network, and security is not a concern. Or you are a network administrator, and you have to comply with the organization's policies on some specific devices.
Although Windows 11 does not include an option to uninstall Microsoft Defender Antivirus, it is still possible to permanently disable the solution using Group Policy or by installing a third-party solution. Or you can also disable the antivirus program temporarily using the Windows Security app.
Windows 11 has a built-in firewall called Windows Defender Firewall. It works pretty well at protecting your computer from outside threats without causing too much trouble, but there are situations where it can get in the way. If you’re tired of dealing with connectivity problems, then you can turn off the Windows 11 firewall and open your computer up to the internet.
