HOW TO TEMPORARILY TURN OFF WINDOWS DEFENDER

HOW TO TEMPORARILY TURN OFF WINDOWS DEFENDER:  Windows 10 security features are awesome like they have never been before in the earlier versions of windows.  I am one guy that tested many antivirus packages and I was kept disappointed at some point especially that the prices for a genuine antivirus package was always too high for me compared to leaving my PC vulnerable.  The birth of windows defender was one of the things I really thank Microsoft for the deep upgrading when it comes to Windows security I have never had any serious threats like it used to be before.  

But of course everything good may limit you here or there.  I am not a tech expert nor a geek expert but there are times when I wanted to run some medical applications and the Windows defender kept stopping them somehow, so I could not read the electronic medical software.  I know it was on my security side but since I was going to read them for just a couple of minutes, it was not a big issue for me to temporarily deactivate the security and then switch back when done.  OK I think you have ever had the same issue sometime.  In here, I am going to show you how to turn off windows defender for some time.  And if you want a video demonstration on the same issue, find it from "Mega Mover Empire" portal on YouTube from here please.

Steps:

1.  Go to your windows settings page by clicking on the Windows logo in the bottom left corner and then select the "settings" tab.

2.  From there, select and open "Windows update and security"

3.  Choose "Windows security" from the left side pane that comes up.

4.  Click and open "Virus and threat protection"  

5.  Scroll down to "Virus and threat protection setting" and click on Manage settings

6.  Uncheck the virus protection settings as desired.  Then when done, go back and check back the setting to be protected.
