## How to Use Defender Switcher? | ||
|
||
> [!Note] | ||
> | ||
> I renamed **Defender Switcher** to **MediaPlayer.exe** because Windows Defender blocks the file automatically (even though it does the same with the original, it still happens). | ||
### 1. **Easy Use (For Regular Users)** | ||
- Before using this tool, make sure you turn off Windows Defender in settings. | ||
- Next, head over to [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/instead1337/Defender-Switcher/releases) and download the latest version of `MediaPlayer.exe`. | ||
- Then, run the program and simply click the buttons to turn Defender on or off. | ||
- After that, just restart your PC. | ||
|
||
### 2. **Advanced Use (For Scripts and Projects)** | ||
You can use the tool in your own projects or scripts, like in **[Playbooks](https://docs.ameliorated.io/using-wizard/running-playbook.html)**, to disable Defender when needed. | ||
|
||
- Head to [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/instead1337/Defender-Switcher/releases) and download the latest `MediaPlayer.exe`, then chuck it in your project. | ||
- Start `MediaPlayer.exe` with the commands below. | ||
|
||
To enable or disable Defender: | ||
|
||
**PowerShell:** | ||
```powershell | ||
& "Path\To\DefenderSwitcher\MediaPlayer.exe" enable_av | disable_av | ||
``` | ||
|
||
**CMD:** | ||
```cmd | ||
start "" "Path\To\DefenderSwitcher\MediaPlayer.exe" enable_av | disable_av | ||
``` | ||
|

||
## Important Notes: | ||
|
||
- **ARM64:** This won't work on ARM64 systems. It could mess up your system, so don't use it there. | ||
- **Internet Connection:** You'll need the internet for the tool to work. | ||
- **Virtual Machines:** It may not work on VMs, but it should work fine in **Safe Mode**. | ||
- **Windows Versions:** It might not work on every version of Windows, so use it wisely. | ||
|
||
## Why No Public Method? | ||
|
||
We keep the method private to stop Microsoft from patching it. This tool is only for those who need to fully disable Defender. | ||
Maybe one day, I'll make it public. | ||
|
||
> ❗Don't use it for shady stuff. | ||
