With the anniversary update 1607 there does not seem to be any way to disable windows defender. I am using the Home edition and tried the previous registry "DisableAntiSpyware" keys that used to work. It no longer works.
Also any attempts to change the key in the Services for "WinDefend" not to start ie: =4 for disabled is not allowed, even with changing ownership of the key or running regedit with 'psexec' elevated privileges.
Has anyone figured out a way to disable it? This is the first time I really feel Microsoft has truly locked me out.
WIth the new Windows creator update it will probably change any hack that worked now anyway but I'd like to disable this antivirus. Thanks for any suggestions.
