Because working in security sometimes I want to test malware on outdated AV, blocking full internet causes command and control failures, creating a weird spot to analyse traffic. Disabling Defender is not persistent (it seems to switch itself on, etc).

If you disable defender using group policy, from my experience that's been disabled consistently for a year no problems. Latest version of Windows 10.

Note you need to disable tamper protection and reboot first otherwise it silently reenables itself.
