Troubleshoot Windows Defender is not disable by Kaspersky

[JB007]

Hello,
I have explained here (post #24) Need Help - Apps do not launch from start menu and Windows search do not work ; my problems with Avast and that I have replaced it by Kaspersky Internet Security 2017.
Windows Defender continues to run along Kaspersky and when I try to disable it manually, when I reboot my PC Windows Defender is again running
If I look on the security panel I don't see Kaspersky but Kaspersky is running OK
Can you help me ?

Hello,
Thank you very much all MalwareTips' friends
Here How to permanently disable Windows Defender on Windows 10 , I found "How to disable Windows Defender using Local Group Policy".
I did it and then I uninstall Kaspersky from program panel and then reinstall it and I think that the issue is solved

Hello,
New step:
Here: How to permanently disable Windows Defender on Windows 10 , I use "How to disable Windows Defender using Local Group Policy" to "re-enable" Windows Defender and then reboot my PC. Now all seems OK
Perhaps it was not necessary to "disable Windows Defender using Local Group Policy" , and maybe Uninstalling and reinstalling Kaspersky could have been enough.
We'll never know unless another MalwareTips member has the same issue

@JB007,

I didn't knew you have Win 10 Pro...Yes, doing stuffs with Group Policy is easy & better...I have used Group Policy to disable WD And it works fine.

You reinstalled KIS & reenabled WD in GP And issue sorted now...?

Hello @Yash Khan
Yes I have W10 Pro.
Yes I have reinstalled KIS and then reenabled WD using Group Policy and all is working fine

@JB007 I have this issue on a computer running Avast Free. Windows Defender didn't disable itself, so I used Group Policy to deactivate WD.
