Can Windows Defender be completely disabled in CU?
Title.
In 1607 and earlier, it was possible to shut it off. You could just turn each feature off from the Settings app, then use group policy settings to prevent it from turning itself back on (I used WinAeroTweaker to do this in one click)
While I can still disable it using WinAeroTweaker, the "Windows Defender Security Center" is still there, and just shows a few things in red, but otherwise seems like it's still turned on and doing its thing in the background.
Having that + a real antivirus at the same time puts tremendous load on the hard drive (especially in VMs!) so I really would like to shut it off entirely.
