Disable Windows Defender

Why do I need to turn off anti virus?

Windows Security and third-party antivirus services will proactively block "injection" methods. This is a false-positive detection that must be resolved before proceeding.

1. Disable Virus & threat protection settings

   1. Search Virus & Threat Protection Settings in your windows search bar.

   2. Click "Manage Settings"

   3. Disable all settings here, including Real-time protection.

1. Download and Install DControl

   1. Download WinRAR and install it. This is required to extract .rar files.

   2. Download DControl.

   3. Open it and select Disable Windows Defender.

Why do I need to install DControl?

Windows Defender is designed to automatically re-enable itself after a restart or a period of inactivity. DControl (Windows Defender Control) permanently suppresses these security services to ensure they stay off, saving you the time of re-disabling them every session. It also provides a simple way to toggle protection back on whenever you choose.

3

Remove Other Anti-Cheats

Uninstall the following if installed:

• FACEIT Anti-Cheat

• Vanguard (Valorant Anti-Cheat)

If a product specifically requires one of these anti-cheats, you can keep it installed. It will be supported
