🧠 Introduction

Windows Defender protects your PC, but sometimes you need to disable it temporarily — for example, when installing certain scripts or developer tools.

⚙️ Step 1: Open Windows Security

1. Press Windows + I → open Settings.

2. Go to Privacy & Security → Windows Security → Virus & Threat Protection.

🧩 Step 2: Manage Settings

Click Manage settings under Virus & Threat protection settings.
Turn off:

• Real-time protection

• Cloud-delivered protection

• Automatic sample submission

⚡ Step 3: Re-enable Defender

Once you’ve finished testing or installing your app, turn protection back on to stay secure.

💡 Developer Tip: If you’re testing local web apps, check out Luckyy’s Secure Windows Tools — designed to work smoothly even with antivirus enabled.

✅ Conclusion

Always disable Defender temporarily and restore protection afterward to keep your PC safe.
