Disable Windows Defender in Windows 11

About defender disable or removal.
Where I tried just as interest the Windows Defender remover/disabler from ionuttbara I had zero problems, you can even look at the source code what everything happen, while it stopped on one of the Insider version.
And DPC was noticeable faster.
He have one other interesting tool. There r for sure things which NTLite could integrate it from it also.
Just as example, when I tried the other Tool, but by a mistake since everything happens directly after a doubleclick and it's non reverseable, I never had such a low DPC ever, it was like WinXP, even with LatencyTest, everything was at the minimum.
While Windows running still stable but lost then support what I needed.

Thats no way an ad for him, just telling my experience and i want create myself a list for NTLite with the Help from it, I want this low DPC always and need to find out what the biggest tweaks for it are and maybe there are people's which also interest to test and find out, but Caution, never even doubleclick on the tool Melody without Backup, then it's just too late.
 
I've always had real concerns about ionuttbara's remover, in particular earlier versions of his script. Now I haven't reviewed his current versions. Have you tried running an update after removing Defender?

For simply disabling Defender, you don't need a script or tool because if you mod the offline image (before installation), there are no protections to bypass. After you install Windows, a number of removal problems gets worse because it's too late, you've already installed or started a program. This applies to cleaning up other features like OneDrive.

On the latest Canary Insider where it worked, I of course did make Updates, and even also Insider updates. Till one day, Defender never came back, and I really never had any problems.
But I need to say, I don't use Windows so hardly that I can say all Apps worked fine and so on.
I use mostly portable Apps from Symenu. And install very less Apps.

But when I find a problem it's for me normally not a big issue to find the cause when I really want.
Ah and with disabling Defender I mean that it is complete disabled without getting reactivated again, and it's everything for the Online image.
I can't say till which Insider it worked, but after one Insider updates, the Script did directly fail at the beginning and said the removal was complete (after ~3 seconds it said finished and did auto reboot) while nothing happened
