    Mousefluff that looks impressive!
    I'd like to ask you, what would be the minimal subset of those changes that I would need to achieve a simpler objective:
    - make Windows Defender a service I can turn on and off at will!

    What I mean is: I normally want it on, I just get seriously annoyed that, when I want it off, it tends to second-guess me, disobey me, etc. Can you tell me which parts of your script I would need to use just to overcome that?
    Thanks!
