What steps should I take to uninstall Windows Defender but retain the Security Center functionality?

In Windows 10 22H2, you could use DISM to remove the components listed below to delete Windows Defender while retaining Windows Security Center. However, this method no longer works in Windows 11 23H2 or Windows 11 24H2. So, how can it be done now?

Code:

Windows-Defender-Client-Package
Windows-Defender-Group-Policy-Package
Windows-Defender-ApplicationGuard-Inbox-WOW64-Package
Windows-Defender-ApplicationGuard-Inbox-Package
Microsoft-Windows-SenseClient-Package
Microsoft-Windows-HVSI-WOW64-Package
Microsoft-Windows-HVSI-Package

 

Lads having the desktop.ini x 2 appearing following a clean UA install in win 11, MS said we should not delete these. any ideas how to suppress prior to desktop on first run?

 

The issue of having two "desktop.ini" files appear after a clean installation is not a cause for concern. These files are hidden by default, and their presence is normal.

One file belongs to your user profile, while the other is associated with the public user profile.

You can verify their different locations by checking the file properties and security tab. To prevent these files from being visible, you can simply hide system files via explorer settings.

My two cents.

 

--- Contents of SetupComplete.cmd ---
Reg.exe add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce" /v "delini" /t REG_EXPAND_SZ /d "%%systemroot%%\Setup\Scripts\delini.cmd" /f

--- Contents of delini.cmd ---
del %USERPROFILE%\Desktop\desktop.ini /as /f /q
del %PUBLIC%\Desktop\desktop.ini /as /f /q

 

Yes I require those to be checked in my builds.

 

@sizen Yes that worked perfectly, put this into my cleanup.cmd Thank you!
