Completely remove Windows Defender

5,076

Use the program install_wim_tweak.exe.

Open a command prompt (cmd.exe) as admin and run this command:

install_wim_tweak.exe /o /c Windows-Defender /r

This completely removes all Defender files.

    On Windows 10 Professional, with the November update (Build 10586, Version 1511) , is there any possibility to completely remove Windows Defender ?

    I don't want to just disable Windows Defender. I want to completely uninstall from my system.

    So this removes it from the install image, not the current install of windows?
