I wanted to disable the Defender on a weak netbook to get some more ""performance"" out of it. However, seems like the the program is compiled for x64 and won't run.

You could try compiling it for x86. You also might have to change some of the flags like KEY_WOW64_64KEY to KEY_WOW64_32KEY depending on your platform

I appreciate your comment. This is certainly possible. However, as I kinda wanted something "quick" that worked, I found out that "https://privacy.sexy", despite the strange name, is full of useful scripts, that include disabling Defender and all services dependant on it, such as the Antimalware Service, among others. That did work!
