gerhatmark 0 Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 (edited) The Antimalware Service Executable (WinDefend service) continues running even after installing Nod32. I attempted to disable it using the Group Policy option 'Turn off Windows Defender Antivirus,' but it remains active. When I attempt to terminate the service, I encounter an error message: 'Permission denied.'" Why this service is active? Windows 11 PRO - 22H2 (Build 22621.2283) Edited September 25, 2023 by gerhatmark Added OS Version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
