Starting with Vista, Windows Defender has been integrated into the operating system and you have no way of uninstalling it. Considering that there are several more advanced and efficient antivirus solutions out there, it does not come as a surprise that you may want to disable it.

Defender Control is a lightweight piece of software designed to help you take control over Windows' security software and disable it so that you can avoid conflicts with other protection software solutions you are using.

The program is portable, so it does not require installation or configuration, but rather you can decompress the archive in any desired location on your hard drive. Upon launch, you come face to face with a minimalistic GUI that displays the primary functions of the tool.

Even though it is not much to look at, the interface is suitable for the role of the application, which is to enable or disable Windows Defender. The program includes a color code so that you can tell right away whether the Windows security component is running or stopped. As you probably hinted, green means it is working, whereas red entails it is turned off.

Despite the fact that it is dedicated to turning Defender on or off, let us not forget that the latest versions of Windows do not provide you with any means to remove it from your system. Moreover, accessing it from the Settings only stops its protection temporarily.

Thanks to this tool, you can enable and disable it with just one click. The direct advantage of turning it off is that you no longer need to deal with conflicts with other antiviruses, low resources and you might even notice an increased copy speed.

Regardless of whether you are getting constant conflicts due to another antivirus you are using or maybe want to increase the copy speed when you are transferring data from your computer to a USB device, Defender Control could come in handy.
