New_Style_xd 69 Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 Good night, Guys, what I'm looking for is a specific thing. I am wanting to PAUSE ESET to update Windows Security known as Windows Defender. I know that a lot of people will say that you don't need it, but as I used other antivirus I could Pause Antivirus and be able to update Windows Defender, with ESET I can't. I wanted to know how and what makes me Pause ESET and be able to update Windows Defender to the new version! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Marcos 5,074 Posted August 19, 2022 Administrators Share Posted August 19, 2022 Windows Defender activates automatically when you disable real-time protection in the advanced setup. From that moment on ESET will stop protecting you and Defender take care of real-time scanning. Tonyset 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even so, when I went to Windows Update, Windows Defender did not update its database and did not update its platform. Tonyset 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New_Style_xd 69 Posted August 19, 2022 Author Share Posted August 19, 2022 Do you know why I ask this question? Because when I paused KASPERKY's antivirus and went to windows update, I was able to download updates for windows defender and update its platform. With Eset I can't do this even while pausing. What do I have to do without removing ESET? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Marcos 5,074 Posted August 19, 2022 Administrators Share Posted August 19, 2022 Windows Defender updates can be downloaded while ESET is fully active. It must work also because having another AV installed does not affect periodic scanning by WD. Are you able to reproduce issues with updating WD at any time? If so, does temporarily disabling protocol filtering make a difference? Tonyset 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itman 1,659 Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 You can keep WD sigs. updated by setting WD to perform periodic scanning via Windows Security Center. The downside of this is the entire WD engine loads into memory at system startup time and basically sits there doing nothing until a periodic scan is run. The alternative is to temporarily disable Eset real-time protection. After this done, WD real-time protection should auto enable via WSC monitoring. At this time, you can force an update of WD sigs. Then re-enable Eset real-time protection. Tonyset 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could do this with other AVs. but with eset I can't. I wanted to know if there is any way to do it? Tonyset 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to update WD and I can't. Tonyset 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COStark26 10 Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 I Disabled Real-Time Protection in Adv Settings, got a W10 Notification -- BOTH ESET And Defender were OFF -- BUT (as Marcos stated) Defender shows Active in Settings / Virus & Threat Protection. @itman.... HOW do you "force the WD Update sigs" -- WHAT Tells you it's Ready to do so -- and WSC Monitoring is over a few hours to detect/offer? or Into Next day? Sorry for confusion but clarifications are appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to Find page for - What should all Ver's be Now -- BUT I assume it's up-to-date. IS IT THAT simple? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
