Permanent Disable Defender Updates?

I don't use Windows Defender, and I constantly get message to update it. Is there a way to stop these notices?

\Thanks

There is an option on the update home page to hide updates. If you hide the update you should never see it again unless you select the "restore hidden updates" option. Also on the update home page. Below is a more detailed explanation on how to hide updates.

Hello dagzag,
It is absolutely Not recomended, but are you actually asking to turn Windows Defender off ? You can only "hide" the update(s) that you have already been notified, when a new one made available, you'll be notified again. The only way to stop notification completely is to turn windows defender off. You don't really want to do that. Can you not just put up with a little inconvenience ?

well, I dont use Defender because I already have Norton's Full Security Suite, so Defender is redundant to me..or I am misssing something? Thanks for the replies

Hello dagzag,
Suggestion : rephrase you question into something like " I have Norton's Full Security Suite, should I or do I need to keep Windows Defender on as well ?" Post that question, and see the pro and con from the MVPs. Then you decide.

fyi, turning Defender off does NOT stop the updates!
