PC reset 6 Report post Posted October 13, 2016 Hello there! I have a small question. I know when Emsisoft has been installed Windows defender is disabled. But when restarting my computer it takes a long time(about 30 seconds to 1 minute) before defender is disabled again. I even use a SSD and i7 but still i takes that long. Is this process going to improve? Download Image Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Frank H 89 Report post Posted October 14, 2016 PC reset, this is managed by Window, nothing we can do to speed this up, unfortunately. You could try to disable Defender manually to avoid this problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SHvFl 1 Report post Posted October 15, 2016 No I just use Windows 10 home. But thanks for the suggestion Try the registry way then. Note i haven't tried it so backup your registry before changing anything in case something goes wrong. http://www.ghacks.net/2015/10/25/how-to-disable-windows-defender-in-windows-10-permanently/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Peter2150 45 Report post Posted October 16, 2016 I wouldn't mess with the registry. There should be an easier way. 1 Open the gui and click on protection 2 Untick the hide fully trusted applications. 3 Scroll down and search for the Windows Defender exe file 4 highlight it and click on Edit Rule 5 Then click the Always block this application(Impossible to run) button That should stop it.
