Hello, Chris. I've been following your channel for a couple of years now. Sincerely inspiring. Thanks to you and another channel I started using Linux as my main OS and learning a lot of things. Personal digital security and privacy has become an exciting topic. Antivirus has a lot to do with these two topics. I was surprised by this guide and your video.
I am no expert. Although it seems tempting to disable Defender, I wanted to share with you two sources, which you may already know about, but would have been worth referencing.
- The Big Antivirus Lie in 2021
- Windows Defender is enough, if you harden it
- Harden Windows Defender protection to the highest levels on Windows 11/10
Note: I know that the YouTuber in the first source may have a somewhat alarmist touch, but he has been an excellent source on digital privacy issues, especially around reflecting on decisions.
Love your channel, man. Greetings from Colombia.
For the registry file you need to add the following line before the script due to the registry file being unable to be merged: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
Cannot import windefender_disable.reg: Not all data was successfully written to the registry. Some keys are open by the system or other processes, or you have insufficient privileges to perform this operation.
Hello - Who can share which ACL settings are required for start-menu to work in windows 11 latest version?
Cannot import windefender_disable.reg: Not all data was successfully written to the registry. Some keys are open by the system or other processes, or you have insufficient privileges to perform this operation.
I solved it by using another defender disabling reg thing but also discovered this "If you get an error when trying to run the .reg, use PowerRun (some services require the TrustedInstaller privilege in order to be modified, such as Windefend or wuauserv)."

Hi, I do not agree with this topic. I'm just a hobbyist\amateur, i love many things christitus explains and I learned a lot thankt to chris. But the whole Microsoft Azure environment relies on defender. If defender is so bad that should mean that all the company's using Azure in any way are at risk. If so, we should heard already about that. I think defender is decent enough for a user that uses his device and internet in a correct way. If the user goes to illegal sites for downloads or porn or whatever defender is maybe not enough but a program is not made to do illegal stuff, that is at your own risk. The last 4 years i refuse to pay for 3rd party anti-virus and i had never a problem on 50+ windows devices.

If the user, who is advanced enough to run a tool to remove defender, then who the hell cares. It's a choice by the user. You like it, so keep it. I don't see how being able to remove a feature is an issue, if issued many warnings about said action. Some people don't want that shit, some people want control of their PCs. Some people don't need real-time bullshit processing everything that's going on with the system. You need a net to catch you, that's fine. Some of us don't.
