Hi. Welcome to Geekswipe Curiosity. You can disable this by creating a registry key. Open regedit and navigate to this: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WinDefend
. Create a new key with a name DisableRealtimeMonitoring
and value as 1
.
You also can do this directly from within PowerShell with the command: Set-MpPreference -DisableRealtimeMonitoring $true
