Yes, it is possible to disable Microsoft Defender and run Windows 10 without any antivirus software. However, it is generally not recommended to operate a computer without any form of antivirus protection, as it leaves your system vulnerable to malware and other security threats.

To disable Microsoft Defender on Windows 10, you can follow these steps:

1. Open the Start menu and type "Windows Security" to search for the Windows Security app. Open it.
2. In the Windows Security app, click on "Virus & threat protection" in the left-hand menu.
3. Click on "Manage settings" under the "Virus & threat protection settings" section.
4. Toggle off the "Real-time protection" switch to disable Microsoft Defender.

Please note that disabling Microsoft Defender will leave your system without real-time protection against malware. It is strongly recommended to have an alternative antivirus solution installed to ensure the safety of your computer and data. There are many reputable third-party antivirus programs available that offer comprehensive protection for Windows 10.
