Step 1: Disable Windows Virus Protection & Remove Antivirus

Important: All antivirus and security protections must be disabled or removed before continuing. Temporarily disabling options is not sufficient unless stated.

---

A. Disable Windows Virus & Threat Protection (Windows Settings)

This disables the Windows Security antivirus layer before permanently disabling Defender.

Steps:

1. Press Windows Key → search Windows Security

2. Open Virus & Threat Protection

3. Click Manage settings

4. Turn OFF:

   • Real-time protection

   • Cloud-delivered protection

   • Automatic sample submission

   • Tamper Protection

⚠️ Tamper Protection must be OFF or Defender cannot be permanently disabled.

---

B. Remove Third-Party Antivirus Software

Fully uninstall any third-party antivirus software, including (but not limited to):

• Norton

• Avast

• McAfee

• Malwarebytes

• Kaspersky

• Bitdefender

After uninstalling, restart your PC.

C. Permanently Disable Windows Defender Using DControl

Windows Defender must be fully disabled at the service and policy level.

Instructions:

1. Download D control (for a full guide + Download link visit this page Disable Windows Defender - Dcontrol)

2. Open DControl as Administrator

3. Select Disable Windows Defender

4. Confirm Defender services are stopped

Tool Details:

• Tool: DControl

• Password: sordum

⚠️ Disabling Defender only through Windows Settings is not enough. DControl ensures Defender is disabled system-wide.

---

Once Windows antivirus, third-party antivirus, and Windows Defender are fully disabled, proceed to the next step.

Step 2: Install Required Runtimes (Visual C++)

To allow proper communication with Windows, Visual C++ runtimes are required.

We recommend installing Visual C++ AIO Runtimes, which installs all required versions automatically.

3. Set every option to Use Default
