Microsoft Defender Antivirus is an antivirus software that is included in Windows 11 and can help protect your device from viruses, malware, and other threats.
Microsoft Defender Antivirus regularly scans your device to help keep it safe. It tries to do this while you are not using your device so it doesn’t interfere with your work.
Real-time protection consists of always-on scanning with file and process behavior monitoring and heuristics. When real-time protection is on, Microsoft Defender Antivirus detects malware and potentially unwanted software that attempts to install itself or run on your device, and prompts you to take action on malware detections.

As you might have already noticed, in Windows 10 version 1511, Microsoft implemented a context menu item for Windows Defender. Now it is possible to scan selected files and folders in File Explorer with one click by right clicking and launching Windows Defender. If you do not want this «Scan with Windows Defender» verb/context menu item, here is how you can safely remove it.
There are several reasons why you might want to get rid of the mentioned context menu item. For example, you might be using some alternative antivirus software which disables Defender and provides its own context menu item to scan files and folders. Or you might have disabled Windows Defender completely and have no need for the context menu item.
To delete Scan with Windows Defender entry from the context menu in Windows 10, you can use ready-to-use Registry files I made for your convenience. The undo file is also included.
Download Registry files
To remove the Scan with Windows Defender context menu item in Windows 10, double click the file named «remove Scan with Windows Defender.reg».
To restore the context menu item, double click the file named «restore Scan with Windows Defender.reg». It will restore the defaults.
Here is how it works.
The context menu item is represented by the following Registry entry.
For files:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\EPP
For folders:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\EPP
Once you delete the EPP subkey, the context menu item will disappear. It is safe and will not break anything.
Before:
After:
To restore it, you need to re-create the EPP subkey and set its default string value to «{09A47860-11B0-4DA5-AFA5-26D86198A780}» or simply double click the ready-to-use reg file I provided.

Windows Defender was released as an antispyware or antimalware tool by Microsoft for Windows XP and with the release of Windows Vista, Microsoft started providing Windows Defender as a part of the operating system. All Windows versions after Windows Vista also come bundled with Windows Defender program.
With the release of Windows 8, Microsoft also added antivirus capability to Windows Defender. So Windows Defender in Windows 8 and later Windows versions works similar to Microsoft Security Essentials program and provides antivirus and antispyware protection to Windows users.
But there was a main feature missing in Windows Defender program which was the context menu option. By default, Windows didn’t allow to directly scan any file or folder using Windows Defender program. If we talk about 3rd party antivirus software, all software add a new option in file/folder context menu (right-click menu) to scan files/folders using that security program. But Microsoft didn’t add any such option for Windows Defender. That’s why we posted a tutorial long time back to add “Scan with Windows Defender” option in context menu:
How to Add “Scan with Windows Defender” Option in File Context Menu in Windows 8?
With the release of Windows 10 November Update (build 10586 or Threshold 2), Microsoft has listened to users feedback and added a new option “Scan with Windows Defender” in files, folders and drives context menu. Now when you right-click on a file, folder or drive, you get the option in the menu as shown in following screenshot:
That’s really a great move by Microsoft but there is a minor issue! If you don’t use Windows Defender and install your favorite 3rd party security program in Windows 10, the Windows Defender option in context menu becomes useless for you because other 3rd party antivirus and security programs disable Windows Defender and the context menu option of Windows Defender throws error message:
This app has been turned off and isn’t monitoring your computer.
Windows Defender was unable to scan the selected file or folder.
Now if you are also using a 3rd party security suite or antivirus program and want to remove the extra “Scan with Windows Defender” option from files, folders and drives context menu, this tutorial will help you. After following this tutorial, you’ll be able to get rid of the context menu option of Windows Defender as shown in following image:
Today in this tutorial, we are going to share a few methods to disable “Scan with Windows Defender” option from files, folders and drives context menu in Windows 10. So without wasting time lets start the tutorial:
METHOD 1: Using Command Prompt
That’s the easiest way to get rid of the context menu option. In this method we’ll unregister Windows Defender’s DLL file which is responsible for showing the context menu option.
1. Open Command Prompt as Administrator using any method given here.
2. Now run following command:
regsvr32 /u “C:\Program Files\Windows Defender\shellext.dll”
3. You’ll get a message box, click on OK button.
Now right-click on any file or folder and you’ll not see “Scan with Windows Defender” option in context menu.
PS: If you decide to add the option back in future, run following command:
regsvr32 /i “C:\Program Files\Windows Defender\shellext.dll”
It’ll restore the option in context menu.
METHOD 2: Using Registry Editor
If the above mentioned method doesn’t work for you, you can also remove the context menu option using Registry Editor.
1. Press WIN+R keys together to launch RUN dialog box. Now type regedit in RUN and press Enter. It’ll open Registry Editor.
2. Now go to following key: (to remove Windows Defender option from files context menu)
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\
3. Under”ContextMenuHandlers” key, look for EPP key. Just select EPP key and press Delete key.
4. Now go to following key: (to remove Windows Defender option from folders context menu)
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers
5. Again under”ContextMenuHandlers” key, look for EPP key. Select EPP key and press Delete key.
6. Now go to following key: (to remove Windows Defender option from drives context menu)
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers
7. Again under”ContextMenuHandlers” key, look for EPP key. Select EPP key and press Delete key.

1. Press WIN+R keys together to launch RUN dialog box. Now type regedit in RUN and press Enter. It’ll open Registry Editor.
2. Now go to following key:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{09A47860-11B0-4DA5-AFA5-26D86198A780}
3. Select {09A47860-11B0-4DA5-AFA5-26D86198A780} key and press Delete key.
