Windows Defender will not turn off.
Made a calculator when i was in high school and now Windows Defender sees it as a Virus and deleted my program. I have it on a back up drive but I do not want to connect because windows deletes it without me being able to click on it. I would like to disable windows defender permenantly. I do not need it. It still operates when it is disabled and I cannot view or allow the program it just deletes it. Please help nothing works to disable defender. If it cannot be done I move to Linux i guess.

- You can temporarily turn off Real-time protection and run your program:

Once you evaluate your program, you can turn on real-time protection back to ensure safety of your device.
