I want temporary re-enable Windows Defender without uninstall KIS.

[Guest]

Hello, I have KIS 2020 on my PC and I want temporary re-enable Windows Defender without uninstall KIS. If I close/exit KIS there is no option to enable Defender but only to re-enable KIS. Am I doing something wrong or there is no way to do that ?? Thanks in advance !!

Hello @bep1995,

Welcome!

When Kaspersky software is installed, it “takes over” from Windows Defender, as a result, the only way to re-activate Windows Defender is to uninstall KIS, it’s not possible to switch between the two : Kaspersky OFF & Windows Defender ON and vice-a-versa; neither software is a surface layer implementation. 

Thank you🙏
