W11 Defender is really good for private or old people. It's very productive.

On the other side is very hard to install cracked software. You cannot deactivate it.
I would suggest to reinstall windows 11 Pro and than directly install Atlas OS Tweak with disabled defender.
You will only have problems with activated defender.
Use the system just for music.

Get another 120GB SSD and install another w11 Pro for Internet and normal activities.

 

you can disable defender from regedit
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows Defender
DisableAntiSpyware 1 or 0 (on or off)

the original unmodified dll is located in system 32, the R2R take the hand when placed at the root of ableton.exe.
there no need to destroy your machine for a dll

not all old people are retarded,
most of the advice here is absolute nonsense.

 

I used revi os to ditch windows defender and all the other bloat extremely easy to set up (on relatively fresh install of win at the time) and no issues to report running live
