The gpedit option to disable the real time component continues to work. The toggle for disabling all of it doesn’t.

Try `Set-MpPreference -DisableRealtimeMonitoring $true` from admin powershell.

It appears you would like to take a trip into the windows dark forest. Complete removal of windows defender on retail OS is feasible if you can figure out how to elevate a prompt to trusted installer. Alternatively, if you run Windows Server, you can use Remove-WindowsFeature to get it gone for good. I have a script that accomplishes this, but I hesitate to share it because I don't want some asshole at Microsoft to patch it.
