wow!!!. It works perfect. Well I remember that in previous builds of windows 11 nothing worked, but nothing at all. I could not tell you but this problem comes at least since last year. I opened a post in this forum in May (3 months ago) commenting on the problem and NOTHING worked, I was left touched with the OS with these things I tell you, these applications presented problems: - Notepad (was uninstalling). - The same clipping tool - The microsoft egde browser was very very slow the first time you used it to start a session, if you closed the browser and reopen it again and was fine. - The XBOX application to play with gamepass, the games took a long time to start up. Now all this goes perfect. It remains to be seen if when updating applications from the microsoft store, these do not give download error or things like that, but apparently everything works correctly to disable windows defender as it did at least a long time. I tell you, I could not tell you the exact time but at least since October-November 2022 to disable Windows Defender in my case the OS was corrupted with all that I put above. Best regards!
Updates installed Defender but not Windows Security, leaving me unable to manage Defender. It's not present in Settings and can't be launched from search, nothing happens. Can I fix this without reinstalling the OS?
Thanks, unfortunately it seems that is not enough. The app appears in the start menu but it does not launch.
@RobrPatty The text file mentions BAU's defender script, but doesn't have the link, can you add that link? I would like to try the method you mentioned, maybe directly from my Apply scripts (I don't use Windows Setup, but apply from WinPE).
Yes, sure. Blocking is best option. I was writing about that https://forums.mydigitallife.net/th...-ltsc-2024-preview.88019/page-20#post-1833490
Code: @echo off cd /d "%~dp0" echo removing Windows-Defender... CLS install_wim_tweak.exe /o /l install_wim_tweak.exe /o /c Windows-Defender /r install_wim_tweak.exe /o /c Microsoft-Windows-SenseClient-Package /r install_wim_tweak.exe /h /o /l echo Windows-Defender should be uninstalled. Please reboot Windows 10. pause download install_wimtweak.exe and place it next to to the batch. No it isn't Defender is meant to be removable. In server (one of its many advantages) you can do that from the GUI
Hey @acer-5100 , Can it be used during Windows installation in SetupComplete.cmd/specialize.cmd? Regards
You can use the exe offline on a mounted wim. Just launch with /? to get the syntax and change the batch accordingly.
Well, it's how I removed it (Defender) for years now. In fact, I found the old thread on this right here on MDL when I google searched to check on Install_wim_tweak syntax: https://forums.mydigitallife.net/th...-windows-defender-from-win-10-rs5-1809.78066/ I will pick up on my 26100 tests again tomorrow, something did seem to have changed in this regard, but it could also be it doesn't like me deleting winre.wim from install.wim anymore.
Got up a little earlier to test the batch from post #401 (and only that one Defender removal setting this time). I don't think it works anymore, will have to re-run the test again when I get home.
where can i get install_wim_tweak.exe . please post sha1 too, thanks. ---- I uninstalled edge from install.wim using this. Worked well.
