Please tell me how, good sir. Not replace, not turn off temporarily until the next day or the next restart when it turns on again automatically. Tell me, how do I turn off Windows Defender real time protection in a way that I can turn it on when I need it and turn it off when I don't.
As far as I know, It's not possible without 3rd party tools AND in a way that will persist (even after Windows updates).

Every setting I've tried has failed and excluding drives worries me that it might do too much and hasn't consistently solved the performance either. So I still have to flick the whole thing off every once in a while (and it turns itself back on after a few hours, of course).
