Can't disable Windows Defender with Kaspersky

I've found the page that advises on how to disable Windows Defender on here, but the screen I get in the 'Windows Defender Security Centre' looks nothing like I see there, and there is no option to turn off real time protection, only a way of changing scan options. I keep getting warnings that Windows Firewall is turned off which is very annoying, as I have Kaspersky firewall on. MsMpEng Windows Defender process is running in Process Explorer. Can anyone help?

Thanks dalchina. I think something is wrong as Kaspersky is not listed on that page, just the Windows Defender scan options. I am getting strange system hangups with Windows Explorer crashing a lot.

I think the crashes have been going on for 3 or 4 weeks. Not sure how to post update history, my Windows build is Version 1709 (Windows 10 x64)

Scans all seem OK

Honestly I think it's only when I'm using Microsoft Edge, particular when I save images from it . I'm not sure why I persist in using it! It is still a mystery why Kaspersky does not seem properly registered with Windows, maybe a reinstall will fix it?

tacos, what tool did you use to scan your drive in post #5.

Thanks !
