Try booting into Safe Mode and disable Virus and threat protection temporarily.
But if you're using a third-party antivirus and it's not working, this is what you can do.
settings > windows security > virusthreat
from there, check scan options i think you can change when it scans. Might solve your issue there, or you are able to go to settings and disable it from there. Alternatively if it shows up in task manager In the startup tab, you can disable it from opening on startup. Not sure if its there, if you disable it get something like Malwarebytes to replace it.
You can choose to defer windows updates in it’s settings though, in update settings and advanced options.
You can try downloading malwarebytes, It’s the one I use and I believe another antivirus limits windows defender a fair bit.
Antiviruses generally don’t work great together as they conflict, so a lot of features of windows defender are disabled when two are on the same system.ok done the reset, however update defer is only giving 35 days. its better than nothing but still crap imho given I dont use windows much and if they chuck out an update per month then i still am screwed.
does it limit it to the point it wont do automatic scans then?
Thanks for your time on this.

If you don’t mind, I’m getting a little confused that now both windows defender and windows updates are causing such a havoc to your system? What’s your build?
