Hi, actually i am pretty new and don't know how to compile this one, could you please help me this is

what should i do to build the program ?

c++ librarys working

just want edit small stuff like Disable Windows Defender Printf

Since latest Windows 10 Update, defender-control doesn't work anymore for me.

Error Message: "Failed to write to DisableAntiSpywareFailed to write to DisableRealTimeMonitoring"

I installed the current version of windows 11 (iso straight from the microsoft website) and did the normal procedures to disable some Windows Defender options to be able to open the program, but when i open the program i get this message "This App Can't Run on your PC" and I've tried everything I could find on google to fix this but to no sucess, what's the problem?

Hi, I just started out in github im wondering if you can add a feature so we can run them in silent without the prompts?
maybe add start arguments as "-s" to run it silently?
or have it run in cmd as like "disable-defender.exe -silent"

Nice tool! Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!

I like to disable defender in my backup batch script and enable it after backup is finished. Would be nice if the windows of defender-control is not waiting for a key press. With a command line option like -b for batch mode or a complete silent mode -s without a window?

Both (-disable/-enable) in one .exe via command line would be great too, so I only have to set exceptions for one file.

Hi, I'm using Windows 11 21H2. It can disable Windows Defender and works well.
But after the computer restarts, the Windows Defender becomes enabled again. So I need to run it after reboot.
Could you make it permanently disable the Windows Defender?

Security Center(wscsvc) should be modified to demand start or disabled, or windefend will restore previous status.

Hello!
I run defender-control.exe, but program stops working after "return false":

Do you know hot to fix it? I use v1.5 source code.

I am not able to open security settings ,it just won't open after After disabling defender and then after enabling defender and restarting it wont open.
#please help with any fixes!

Now i can't even disable defender as it shows it is a virus
and neither can i open windows security so as to disable virus scanning etc

if you try to download & execute current github release you'd get an error because vcruntime is not on the system

This is the error which is coming please give any fix

after disabling my defender-control i cant reset my computer anymore or download anything from the microsoft store any idea on how i can enable windows defender again

Looks like TrustedInstaller cannot stop the windefend service anymore. It now says that it fails to stop the service and that it cannot write
to TamperProtection, DisableRealTimeMonitoring, etc.

I am trying to compile your code in visual studio 2022 but it says that imgui.h file and other .h files related to imgui files are not there.
As I explored the repository, I figured they are in the imgui folder. But even if they are here, it still says it cannot find them when compiling. Can you help with that?

I have disabled windows defender before, but it cannot be enable now

I had turned off tamper protection prior to compiling. After compiling the code, I checked in windows security, and it showed the exact dialogue that was shown in your demo. "You have no active antivirus protector", but after rebooting my PC, it shows the message that is in my uploaded image. Should that be happening?

Also, right after compiling in visual studio, I got a dialogue in the command prompt "failed to write to disable real time protection, failed to write to disable antispyware, windows defender has been disabled, press any key to continue" right after those command lines, I pressed a key and then when I look in windows security, I see "you have no active antivirus provider." Once again, after rebooting I see the message shown in my uploaded image. Did i do something wrong? is there a way to revert these changes and run the source code again?

Thank you for your work!

Just tried it on Version 10.0.25330.1000 64bit windows 11 on a 10 core cpu

Windows seems to really slow down and struggle running tasks in the background.

Especially installing anything with TiWorker seems to take forever and not finished (i was trying to install the latest sdk for dotnet version 6. After running "enable-defender", without rebooting everything seems fine.

Happy to troubleshoot/debug

User: Administrator
output:

failed to write to TamperProtection
Windows defender is currently ACTIVE
Failed to write to DisableAntiSpywareFailed to write to DisableRealTimeMonitoring
Disabled windows defender!
Press any key to continue . . .

OS info:

Failed to stop WinDefend 1052
Press any key to continue . . .

Steps to Reproduce

1. Go to https://github.com/qtkite/defender-control/releases/tag/v1.2
2. click on "disable-defender.exe"
3. Get error "Faild-Download error"

So I've been getting this notification (that I also got before):

Is there any way to disable it? It's greyed-out, so I can't click it. Any help is appreciated, thanks.

When trying to open disable-defender.exe on Windows 11 Home 21H2 I'm getting this error:
Operation did not complete successfully because the file contains a virus or potentially unwanted software

I tried disabling the real-time protection, but the Security at a glance screen is empty for me. Tried some solutions for the empty screen from the internet, but nothing worked.

When i compile i keep getting this

Please address this performance issue by disabling SmartScreen ("Smart App Control") on the system to optimize efficiency.

See title for the problem. All the changes are reverted upon reboot, and all Group Policy changes made to Windows Defender are also reverted. Seems like Microsoft hates this one weird trick to get 50% of our CPU back and +200% battery lifetime...

Please, in the next version, release a single program that can either enable or disable defender. That is, if defender is active the program displays a message and asks if the user wants to disable it. And, if defender is disabled the program displays a message and asks the user if he wants to enable it.
Thanks for a nice program.

PS : A silent version would be nice too - basically toggle the state of defender.

It worked well on Windows 10, but it does not seem to work on Window 11. When I run it on Window 11, the output is:

failed to write to TamperProtection
Windows defender is currently ACTIVE
Failed to write to DisableAntiSpywareFailed to write to DisableRealTimeMonitoring
Disabled windows defender!
Press any key to continue . . .

It says that it has disabled Defender, but the MsMpEng/CP are still running. and real-time projection is still on.

and next time I run defender-control, it still says the same output as above that includes "Windows defender is currently ACTIVE". I have rebooted the computer, but it was the same.

Started as administrator. Defender is not disabled.

Everytime I try to compile it with visual studio 2022 it says: error imgui.h and other header files not found. all these files seems to be in the imgui directory but it still wont compile. Are you sure the solution is not broken or something?

Can it be compiled for 32-bit and ARM?
