How to temporarily disable McAfee antivirus on Win11
LBC1733 Posted messages 7 Status Member -
Hello,
I just got an Asus VivoBox running Windows 11, and it’s driving me a bit crazy ????
Would you be able to tell me how to temporarily disable MacAfee antivirus?
It wasn’t a problem on Windows 10... but now I’m stuck!
Thank you for your help

Hello.
No need for antivirus on Windows 11 since it has its own antivirus that is effective and free; it activates automatically as soon as no other antivirus is installed on the PC.
New computers sometimes come with trial version antivirus; all of that is marketing, so uninstall McAfee using the McAfee removal tool.
If you just want to disable it Google is there to find your answer.

Hello,
With Windows 11 (I discovered this since I don’t use this new OS), you have Microsoft's default antivirus called Windows Security (formerly Microsoft Defender). You can therefore uninstall McAfee which is useless.
