I want to disable Anti malware service on windows 11
Hello,
It is not recommended to disable Antimalware Service, if you're using Microsoft Defender as primary anti-virus. If you wish to use third-party AV, Defender should disable itself, and hence the Antimalware Service.
Hope this helps!

So, that means if I run any another free AV then the Antimalware service will disable itself automatically.
It really is a bad idea to replace Microsoft Defender with a free antivirus program!
Defender works fine and only takes up resources when scanning, if applications close it is usually an unfinished Windows update that causes this - it has nothing to do with Defender.
