Console 2 a better cmd.exe
The Windows command line tool that can be accessed by typing cmd.exe in the run box or via the start menu or start screen of the operating system has not been changed in a long time. It provides basic command line functionality but lacks many features of modern applications. It is for instance not possible to pick any other font other than the two that can be selected.
Console 2 tries to be a better command line in Windows by migrating the command line to the modern age. It introduces tabbed browsing, transparency, layout changes and several other features that increase productivity. Most of the new features can be configured in the settings of Console 2 which you can access via Edit > Settings.
Tabbed browsing on the other hand is available directly without configuration. You can create new tabs with the click of the button so that you can switch easily between different command line prompt screens without having to have open multiple windows. A new font - including font size, format, color and smoothing - can be selected in the appearance menu which can be really useful as well.
The functionality of Console 2 is exactly the same that the default Windows command line offers which means that the changes are mostly cosmetic changes that do increase your productivity. The most important additions in my opinion are the selection of additional fonts, the transparency and the tabbed browsing.
So, it is basically a frontend for the Windows shell that improves it significantly in many aspects.
Console2 features:
- Tabbed browsing.
- Text can be selected and copied like in text editors.
- Configure different font styles to be used by the application.
- Change the font size and color of text.
- Hide or add elements.
- The program is fully portable.
Console Tips
- You can modify select mouse actions under Settings > Hotkeys > Mouse. This can be useful to change how text is selected or pasted among other things.
- The program is hotkey-driven. You can for instance switch between Tabs using the Ctrl-F1 to Ctr-F10 command. All hotkeys can be modified under settings.
- You can change the appearance of tabs in the settings as well.
- If you prefer the Linux newline character switch to it under Behavior > Copy newline character.
- You can set a startup directory and shell link under console in the settings.
Does it come back after every “moment” update?
Yeah right.. Like this is going to stop defender from running =) This is comedy gold right here.
no ‘about the author’ paragraph?
For permanent disable defender is if removed complete from system no just change permission folder.
Just this is joke.
simpler, load Autoruns (SysInternals)
– filter “Defender”
– untag all entries
– reboot
nothing has changed since my 1st modification years ago
I wouldn’t disable Defender imho, it has too many hidden roots inside Windows itself. One time I tried to uninstall it using brute force scripts and then the Onedrive feature stopped working definitely. A reinstallation was needed and since those times I prefer to maintain Defender untouched. It’s a better method to install another antivirus and it will disable Defender in a safer and easier mode (e.g., Avast is the best in this way, and also Panda Cloud Free is good too).
U are just * [Editor: removed] thats the problem ;p first of all u shall always debloat windows u shall have max 65 services with your drivers for pc and windows own servs. You didnt know what that script did
You can not stop defender from running in background or remove it without some penalty. All you can do is to limit telemetry.
@borts,
It’s probably Smartscreen which is preventing WD from being disabled. Get rid of that and the problem should be solved: https://thegeekpage.com/disable-windows-defender-smartscreen/#How_to_disable_the_Windows_Defender_SmartScreen_via_Local_Group_Policy_Editor
Remove Windows and go for Linux.
Linux sucks dude. Besides it’s not comparable to Windows, these OSes are in different classes entirely.
I use Linux as my daily driver. It’s far more stable than Windows. When’s the last time you used Linux, 2010?
@basingstoke
You’re right, dude. Bro, linux is just a bunch of code that starts before the OS, dude. Brobrodude, that shit ain’t even got emojis, dudebrodudeman! Dudebro, it’s no way near as cool as Windows with its hardcoded abilities to make money off the user, bro. Yo brodude man, you’re the coolest dude ever man, bro. Dude.
Lol what? Windows 7 doesn’t come with any Emojis
Download Autoruns and remove the checkmark from Windows Defender. It doesn’t remove it, but it will never run. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/autoruns
Just use “Defender Control”:

it also works on Windows 11 too…
Win Defender, is completly the most succesful free-built in antivirus of Microsoft. Really nice product. Saved my ass a lot of times. Has updated malware database, completly strong defence
from whatever smart screen disables. Or if you want better and more upgrated (paid) program,
you can go further. But defender is always on your side.
Why would one disable Windows (or Microsoft) Defender in the first place?. I consider this to be playing with fire big time. Everybody knows that if one is using another A-V, Defender will be disabled on its own and won’t be in one’s way.
Why would I want to disable Windows Defender in the first place? It’s a great anti virus in my opinion. Been using it since Windows 8 and and never had a problem or a virus. Why mess with a good thing, if it ain’t broke don’t fix it.
How a ridiculous article!
I am thoroughly stunned.
Why Should You Disable First-Party Windows Defender?
I can only think that it is “malice or perversely intention (want you to buy a third-party AV where you can expect a back margin)” to guide invalidation without showing the premise.
No sane company will use third-party closed source programs (such as AV).
As I thought, “Ghacks Technology News” seems to be coming to downfall.
