I would rather turn off Defender completely, or even remove it from the system (like I did with older Windows versions until now, even remove it from install.wim), but I believe we all have to accept it now, and turning it off/ removing it in Windows 11 is becoming more and more difficult anyway.

So at least I would like an Autohotkey direct shortcut to the "Real-Time protection" dialog, so I can turn it on and off (temporarily?) with the space bar.

Who would be so kind to provide us with a direct link to this page? I can't seem to find it, didn't we use to have the long direct links to Control Panel sub items?

Thank you and have a nice day!

Hallo,
try (only tested with Windows 10):

Code: Select all

#Requires AutoHotkey v2.0
q::Run "shell:::{4026492F-2F69-46B8-B9BF-5654FC07E423}"

Thanks, that opens "Windows Firewall"

I'm looking for a shortcut to the Defender dialog that has the "Realtime protection" toggle switch.

@Atari800XL
There are too many bad practices. And all are unsuccessful.

Some CLSIDs retrieved from registry:

Code: Select all

#Requires AutoHotkey v2
printf(p*)=>OutputDebug(Format(p*))

Loop Reg, 'HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID', 'K'
{
	try
	{
		value := RegRead(A_LoopRegKey '\' A_LoopRegName)
		if !( value ~= 'i)^.*(defender|virus|threat|protection).*$' )
			continue
		printf('{}: {}`n', A_LoopRegName, value)
	}
}

But you can use system's URI protocol.
Try code below:

Code: Select all

#Requires Autohotkey v2

Run('explorer.exe windowsdefender://Threat')	; 

WinWait('Windows Security ahk_class ApplicationFrameWindow'), WinWaitClose()

Run('explorer.exe windowsdefender://ThreatSettings')	;
