Default Temporarily disable Windows Defender?

Win 10 Home here.

The WWW says:

Head to Start Settings Update & Security Windows Defender. Toggle
the switch below Real-time protection to the Off position.

But I see no "Real-time protection" under "Windows Defender". And
"Windows Defender Security Center" doesn't offer a toggle for RT protection.

Sohow does one temporarily disable Windows Defender?

(I see registry edits but I'd rather not go down that path, if possible.)

Open Windows Defender Security Center

- Toggle(slide) Real Time Protection to 'Off'

Optionally(a shorter route)
Rt. Click Defender Icon on the Taskbar(lower right)

Upgrade to Windows 10 Pro :-)
(O no, a joke …)

The only workaround I know for Windows 10 Home:
Create two Reg-files

'Disable Defender
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Win dows Defender]
"DisableAntiSpyware"=dword:00000001

'Enable Defender
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Win dows Defender]
"DisableAntiSpyware"=dword:00000000

So you can easily change the settings on the fly.
I know, that is not what you want, but it is the only way

Administrator powershell:

Set-MpPreference -DisableRealtimeMonitoring 1
