Microsoft stopped allowing you to disable or uninstall Windows Defender quite a while back and thus it can cause some issues with other software in certain circumstances.

With Defender Control, you can easily and quickly completely disable Windows Defender with a click. All that's required is to run the application and access it from the system tray.

Opening the program gives you a couple of options. Enable or disable Windows Defender. It also gives you quick access to a few other Windows functions like opening the security center, change defender settings and change the language.

Apart from that, this utility is perfect for being able to disable Microsoft's built-in antivirus software in any case that it's required.

Thumbs up!
