The only reliable way to really disable Windows Security is through the registry. There are many entries in the registry you have to modify by changing values. If I remember correctly there are perhaps 4-5 (maybe more) registry changes you must make in order to sufficiently disable all areas of Windows Security. Windows Security is actually pretty comprehensive and works interconnected with other parts which will in turn work to ensure all the other parts are working and enabled. You can seemingly disable one feature but it only has an affect on a superficial level, such as disabling parts in Services.
To fully disable Windows Security you must create a .reg file that contains all the necessary changes which will reflect full disabling of all the necessary parts. Without these being disabled Windows Security will still run. It's been a while since I had to do it but much of the persistence comes from real time scanning, firewall, antimalware, antivirus/antispyware etc. Once you disable the main features responsible for persistence on the system you have taken a large chunk of it from running on your computer.
You can also disable the notifications as well through the registry so that they no longer appear telling you to enable firewall/antivirus.
