In this article, we will discuss how to disable the Antimalware Service Executable in the Windows environment. The Antimalware Service Executable, also known as MsMpEng.exe, is a core component of Windows Defender, the built-in antivirus and antimalware solution in Windows. While Windows Defender provides essential protection against malware and other threats, there may be situations where you need to temporarily disable it, such as when running resource-intensive applications or troubleshooting system performance issues.

Disabling the Antimalware Service Executable can be done through the Windows Security app or using command-line tools such as PowerShell or Command Prompt. By following the steps below, you can easily disable the Antimalware Service Executable in Windows:

1. Open the Windows Security app by clicking on the Start menu and searching for "Windows Security".

2. In the Windows Security app, click on "Virus & threat protection" in the left-hand menu.

3. Under the "Virus & threat protection settings" section, click on "Manage settings".

4. Scroll down to the "Real-time protection" section and toggle the switch to turn it off. This will disable the Antimalware Service Executable temporarily.

Alternatively, you can use PowerShell or Command Prompt to disable the Antimalware Service Executable using the following command:

Set-MpPreference -DisableRealtimeMonitoring $true

After executing this command, the Antimalware Service Executable will be disabled until you enable it again.

It is important to note that disabling the Antimalware Service Executable leaves your system vulnerable to malware and other threats. Therefore, it is recommended to only disable it temporarily and re-enable it once you have completed the necessary tasks.
