If you are in Windows 10 Anniversary Update(1607 Build) then you may had probably noticed about
this.Windows Defender Was running alongside of your antivirus program.
Windows Defender will automatically turn itself off when we install some third party antivirus
programs.Yes,that happened for a long time since the beginning of modern era Operating Systems.
But in Windows 10 Anniversary Update there are some changes made my Microsoft.
Microsoft never wants to leave their Users completely depending on third Party Antivirus
Programs(though,they are far better than the Software provided by Microsoft) So,they had made a
simple change on its Antivirus Program.Despite getting a new Icon and new UI(Which they had
planned to initialize in Windows 10 Creators Update) the antivirus have the functionality which can
be used for our Purposes.Yes,it has a facility to run alongside our AV Programs.
If it founds any other AV programs it will turn itself Off as usual,but it will silently performs some
actions it was programmed to be made(in the name of Automatic Maintenance) when an option was
enabled.
But such things are not liked by Some of Our Users,as it will Consume some RAM and will continue
to display its icon on the tray.So if you are the person who wishes to disable it Completely,then here
is an tutorial that may be helpful for you..
