HOW TO DISABLE, ‘‘SVCHOST.EXE SERVICE HOST: WEB THREAT DEFENSE USER
SERVICE_452B8’’.
Windows 11 Pro 22H2
I have Defender turned off / disabled by group policy and/ or registry edits,
but after I restart my computer I keep noticing this service named Web Threat
Defense User Service_452b8, and would like a way to disable it.
In services I can force stop it, but can't disable it.
Please no replies about personal opinions to this topic. Meaning, if you do not
like the fact that I'm trying to disable it, and want to share your opinions as
to why I shouldn't, please save yourself the trouble, I won't listen.
Also worth noting I do not use a single Microsoft application other than the
operating system. So EDGE, Defender, Cortana, Xbox, One Drive, Save apps spam
and/ or notifications are all fully uninstalled and/ or disabled, shoot time is
even disabled.
I also sign in with a local account, and have most services that are turned on
by default disabled.
I even have the Microsoft store disabled, so yeah, I don't need these background
services at all as I don't and/ or will not use them. All telemetry services
have been personally disabled by registry.
I use Firefox for browsers with 10 ad-blockers, and Steam for gaming. I don't
need and/ or want this Microsoft data collection spam.

You should be able to disable it in the Registry. The services are located at
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\
