    Disable Windows Defender

    I am using Symantec end point protection antivirus program that seems to
    conflict with Windows Defender. Can someone advise me how to disable it as
    Symantec antivirus cannot enable fully. Thanks!

    In services right click Windows Defender and disable it. Click start orb,
    type "services".
