You turn it off, it turns itself back on. You turn if off, it comes on again. Eventually, it doesn't even bother responding to the slider and just stays on. Now, that's progress... I expect to see this behavior delivered in 1903, and I don't think it's an accident. Because "father knows best". For some value of paternalism. Paul

I wonder if it would be a viable workaround to simply set all of C:\ (and whatever additional drives a person might have) as exceptions, so that the scanning engine can run all it wants, but it has nothing to do because everything is excepted. Or perhaps, at the point where users can no longer control real time scanning, it just may be time to install something else. Hopefully, that would still disable Windows Defender.

I think I saw that behavior while using Avira Antivir Professional. It slowed down the Red Umbrella. Anyway, my Avira subscription to end soon. If Window$ Defender was made mandatory in Win 10 build 1903, I bet a lot of anti-virus scanners would complaint about it. -- @~@ Remain silent! Drink, Blink, Stretch!
