[27] What I found troubling is that the standard means of killing Windows Defender did not resolve the problem. It continues to get triggered every few minutes anyway. And those triggers would cause short instances of dead audio. I had to go into group policy and totally kill the service where it could never run to get it to stop. Once I did that, I had no further problems. → LINK ; another mention - LINK2
