feature_request(25h2): removing Windows Defender on Windows 11 25H2
### 1. Summary
After upgrading from Windows 22H2 with removed Windows Defender to [**Windows 11 25H2**](https://www.elevenforum.com/t/what-is-new-in-windows-11-version-25h2.40403/), I can’t fully remove Windows Defender. windows-defender-remover doesn’t kill services `MpDefenderCoreService.exe`, `MsMpEng.exe`, `NisSrv.exe`, and `SecurityHealthService.exe`.
If windows-defender-remover already can successfully kill Windows Defender on 25H2, please update the documentation.
### 2. Steps to reproduce
```bat
git clone https://github.com/ionuttbara/windows-defender-remover
cd windows-defender-remover
```
#### 2.1. Launching `Script_run.bat` and `DefenderRemover.exe` (12.8.4)
Windows Defender prevents launching these files including if they’re launched from `PowerRun.exe`.
Windows Settings → `Privacy & security` → `Windows Security` → `Open Windows Security` → `Protection history`:
`Trojan:BAT/DefDisable.DA!MTB`:

`HackTool:Win32/PowerRun!rfn`:

#### 2.2. Launching `defender_remover13.ps1` (release 13.0, beta, PowerShell)
I selected `Run with PowerShell` in the context menu of the file `defender_remover13.ps1` → `Y` (`[Y] Remove Windows Defender Antivirus + Disable All Security Mitigations`) → <kbd>Enter</kbd> → PC restarts after all `defender_remover13.ps1` actions → Windows starts with services `MpDefenderCoreService.exe`, `MsMpEng.exe`, `NisSrv.exe`, and `SecurityHealthService.exe`.
### 3. Environment
Microsoft Windows 11, version 25H2 Hudson Valley 2 (OS Build 26200.7019)
Thanks.
