So far, the best way I've found to remove Defender from both Win10 and Win11 uses Psexec, Sordum DefenderControl, and disable-defender.ps1 from https://github.com/jeremybeaume/tools/tree/master. Here are my steps: Open Virus settings and disable real-time monitoring and tamper protection, using psexec to run sordum defendercontrol to disable Defender, then again using psexec to run disable-defender.ps1. It will finish after a reboot. If you want to do it all in one fell swoop, you need to modify disable-defender.ps1 and manually specifiy the path to psexec.exe. Works on the most recent version of 10/11 fully updated.
