Microsoft will no longer allow Windows users to disable Windows Defender


Microsoft’s Windows Defender comes installed on all the Windows 10 PCs and it does a great job of protecting the users from malware and viruses. However, if you’re one of the people who prefer third-party anti-virus software or don’t use Windows Defender then there is some bad news for you. Microsoft has decided it would stop allowing users to permanently disable Windows Defender.

According to a document published by Microsoft, it says will no longer allow users to disable Windows Defender on Windows 10 PCs. Microsoft has not given a reason as to why it decided to stop users from permanently disabled Windows Defender. However, if really don’t like using it then you can use Windows Group Policy Editor to disable Windows Defender or open Defender and disable real-time protection which will disable Windows Defender temporarily.

We hope that we have provided useful information to you.
