TO EVADE ERRORS - YOU NEED TO DISABLE WINDOWS Defender

It is important to note that disabling Windows Defender and Smart Screen should
only be done temporarily and for specific reasons. These features provide vital
protection against potential threats and play a crucial role in maintaining the
security of your system. Therefore, once you have completed the installation or are
done with the specific task, it is highly recommended to re-enable both Windows
Defender and Smart Screen. Leaving them disabled for extended periods of time can
leave your system vulnerable to potential risks.

Disabling Windows Defender

Windows Defender is the default antivirus program provided by Microsoft, offering


real-time protection against various types of threats. However, it can be easily
disabled when required. Follow these steps to disable Windows Defender:

Open the Start menu and search for "Windows Security".

Click on the "Windows Security" app to open it.

In the app, select the "Virus & threat protection" tab.

Under the "Virus & threat protection settings", click on "Manage settings".

Toggle off the "Real-time protection" option.

By following these steps, Windows Defender will be temporarily disabled, allowing


you to install and run software without any interference.

Temporarily Disabling Smart Screen

Smart Screen, on the other hand, is a feature that helps protect your system from
potentially harmful websites and downloads. While it can be useful in preventing
you from accessing malicious content, it can also block legitimate software
installations. To temporarily disable Smart Screen, follow these instructions:

Open the Start menu and search for "Windows Security".

Click on the "Windows Security" app to open it.

In the app, select the "App & browser control" tab.

Under the "Check apps and files" section, select "Off".

Once Smart Screen is disabled, you can proceed with the installation of your
desired software without any interruptions.
