    Hi,
    Why would you want too ?

    What third party antivirus do you use ?

    I'm using win10 pro 1803 and i prefer manual update for windows defender. I'm not using 3rd party anti-virus program, just the anti-virus program from windows defender.

    Hi,
    Doubt anyone will say how to make anyone's computer more at risk.

    Best I can say is use a different antivirus and defender should for the most part be disabled.

    Hi,
    Only reason I can come up with to doing this is you want to really stay on 1803
    Defender will eventually throw a fit on 1803 which it probably already has

    All I can say is mount a 1809 iso without internet connection because 1803 is end of life now.

    Hi,
    MS is auto updating 1803 and 1809 for that matter to 1903
    I don't necessarily agree with this but I don't use 10 that much anyway so one build is the same as another.
    Personally 1709 was the best

    Sorry can't help good luck send ms feedback
    Cheers.

    I used 1709 before but give up due to some problems with playing emulators. Thanks for your reply and have a nice day.

    Hi,
    About all I can say is install Panda free
    Turn off news and boom defender should be as turned off as I can say
    It will still nag your version is missing new security updates though.
