BUG: Defender staying running #273

Closed LukasKysela closed 5 years ago

LukasKysela commented 5 years ago

Defender staying running. After use "DisableDefender" then running Defender in Task Manager (and using CPU).

SmartScreen runing too.

Tested on Windows 10 1909

DisableDefender, DisableSmartScreen and bunch of other tweaks need reboot to be fully taken into effect. Generally, it's a good idea to reboot after any reconfiguration in services or HKLM hive. Would it be helpful to add this into FAQ?

LukasKysela commented 5 years ago

Yes, I did. I tried O and O ShutUp software and it Defender and Smartscreen completely disabled after restart.

I've tried it yesterday based on your report and had no problems disabling both. Paste or attach your preset, might be related to #272
