How to disable Windows Defender

Windows defender is a virus protection software that comes with Windows 10. It can prevent virus attacks to a certain extent without installing third-party anti-virus software. Sometimes the software we download is often mistakenly reported as a virus by Windows defender and deleted without confirmation. We have no choice but to close it completely. Let’s see how to do it with me!
