Today in this post I will show you how to enable or disable windows defender on your computer. Windows Defender is a free antivirus built into Windows 10 and is a very useful tool that protects your PC from malware. Sometimes Windows Defender slows down your computer and reduces its performance. Therefore, I will show you a few easy steps to turn off temporarily or permanently.
