I always disable Windows defender on my machines via the registry editor, but this time I have run into a problem: first of all, I happen to have a Home version of Windows 11, so I had to install the registry editor manually, then when I try editing the value, it comes up with the following error: error1

I have read about this, and everybody states that I have to run regedit as administrator (which I do) and give myself permissions over the "Windows defender" folder. When editing permissions I get the following error: enter image description here

Keep in mind that I am using the Admin account, which is the only account in the system. After doing a little more research, I have found that you should be able to change the owneer of the file, but in my case this is a dead end: enter image description here enter image description here

Is there any solution to that?

In Windows 11 Home, Windows Defender is enforced and that is why you cannot disable it via the registry (by Microsoft Design).

If you wish, you can get a very good 3rd party Anti Virus and installing that will put Windows Defender in the background. That suffices for most uses.
