It cannot be removed as the Windows Defender is a multi component security center that is a core of Windows 10 and newer Windows Server versions. It can however be disabled.


If you have Windows 10 Pro or above you can disable it via the local group policy editor: https://www.windowscentral.com/how-perma...oup-policy

^ Make sure to disable the tamper protection of Windows Defender antivirus or else the GPO won't work.


If you have Windows 10 Home you can try to disable it via registry hacks: https://www.windowscentral.com/how-perma...h-registry
