Virus Scanning

I need to turn off msmpeng.exe temporarily to see if it is killing my apps.

Please provide the steps. Baby steps please.
I tried and I cannot find how or where to do this.

Everything I type into the "Type here to search" box takes me to a web
page not a Win 10 app.

This scanner is running at 30% cpu use.

In an Administrator Powershell:

Set-MpPreference -DisableRealtimeMonitoring 1

If the command worked, you'll receive a Notification announcing
that you need to turn on Defender etc. That's your evidence
it is turned off.

If you set the variable back to 0 in a second command, the
Notification even clears itself.

No AV is ever really turned "off". What happens in this case,
is the MsMpEng stops "shadowing" your file access. Some
applications run faster as a result. A good AV still has
to be ready to "defend itself", such as by continuing to
do heuristic analysis.

The above switch is sufficient for "performance tests",
or to make a file-system-intensive application finish
in half the time. For example, when I ran hashdeep,
it speeded up nicely with that setting at 1.

You can turn off the 'real time protection' in Windows Defender from the
programme itself under the settings tab.
All you need to do is remove the tick from the box, then when you are ready,
put it back.
