This will disable or enable Windows Defender as easily as uncommenting the correct command and commenting out the opposite.

• Under Evaluation Code:

powershell8 lines

If (Test-Path "$env:allusersprofile\SoftwareDistribution")
{
Exit 0

}
Else {
Exit 1
}

• Under Remediation Code:

powershell7 lines

#To disable real-time monitoring of Windows Defender, run the following command:

Set-MpPreference -DisableRealtimeMonitoring $true

#To enable real-time monitoring, comment out the $true statement above then uncomment and run the following command:

#Set-MpPreference -DisableRealtimeMonitoring $false
