I am desperately trying to disable Antimalware Executable. I have added the registry variables that supposedly disable Windows Defender, but after rebooting it fails to keep the Antimalware Executable out of my task manager. The program eats up my disk harder than my system does, sometimes taking the disk from 3% to 100% right before my eyes (even with no windows or apps open/running on my computer)
So, out of desperation, I resulted to getting rid of the files themselves. This, of course, did not work since the files are owned by TrustedInstaller. Well, I went to the properties of one of the .exe files, selected Security and went to Advanced Security Options. Next step was to click Change next to "Owner:", but doing this reopened the same window but with all options grayed out, including the "Change" selection. There were no online solutions that covered this one specific issue, and running the Command Prompt as admin and attempting to use the takeown <foldername> command resulted in an "Access is Denied" response.
I need to get rid of Windows Defender, no options in the registry editor can keep the Antimalware Executable from making my computer run at a snail's pace. Trying to open some files can take multiple minutes, which is absolutely horrible in any condition. Besides, I rarely if ever go online, and when I do I only ever visit trusted websites and I never download anything anymore. (Maybe the slowness of my computer contributes to this)
How do I get rid of these useless files that I do not have access to edit and cannot change the owner of?
(I also would like to disable Cortana entirely. I have multiple things like Cortana, Your Phone, and Office that take up tons of disk space, yet I never EVER use these applications.)
