Enable or Disable Windows Defender PUA Protection in Windows 10
Windows Defender performs well protecting my system.
But why can't they integrate PUP/PUA protection and eliminate the need for a reg file or power shell process ?
Microsoft, for some reason I cannot fathom decided it was only of interest to their Enterprise customers, managed centrally by their network administrators. See their documentation...

It's a shame, because it works just as well in 10 Home.

I use Kaspersky Free and Malwarebytes Premium and I find they work very well together, Windows Defender is not very good in comparison and is best avoided!
Hi,
Not sure it's even possible to disable windows defender in win-10
And if there were I'm sure 10 would be very cranky if one did disable it :)
Hi,
Yes passively lol :)
Edge is seriously intertwined with WD and so is 10 in general
It will bug the hell out of you to disable each and every item in defender
And some will not respond to disable like smart screen filter and another one that escapes me at the moment :/
