"I do not think it is possible to completly remove without the aid of a tool such as Vlite.

However, your best bet is to go in to ""Computer Management"" then ""Services"" and set the Windows Defender service to disabled."

You can also go into the Windows Defender GUI an uncheck the option "Use Windows Defender".
