Antimalware Service (windows 10) Running After Startup For Several Seconds.

I have IS 2016 installed and working. But directly after Windows startup I still have the Antimalware Service Executable visible in the taskmanager. After ~15 - 30 seconds this service disappears (probably the Internet Security stops this service). Is this normal? Or maybe Antimalware Service should be stopped permanently after Internet Security install?

    It is normal and I hate it because Bitdefender can't stop the service permanently as long as BD service is up and running


    And this increases boot time and slowdowns


    If you are a Pro user you can turn it off permanently using group policy editor


    type gpedit.msc on run --> Computer Configuration --> Administrative Templates --> Windows Components --> Windows Defender --> double click on "Turn off windows Defender" --> click on "Enabled" --> click OK --> exit policy editor and restart your system


    To enable it --> go to "Turn off Windows Defender" and click on "Disabled" or "Not Configured" --> click OK and restart
