Note: Usage of Torrents is banned in some parts of the world. Make sure you are doing this legally. Continue at your own risk
Who doesn't like free content. And when it comes to getting awesome content, like TV Shows, movies and other material for free, there's no match for TOR Server. And who doesn't know how we download those on our computers. Let me give you a hint: It's name start with t and ends with a t with 7 letters and represents a strong and fast-moving stream of water or other liquid. Yes. You are correct. Its TORRENT.
One of the most-widely used tool for download torrents on windows is uTorrent, and windows defender always blocks the software as soon as it detects it on your machine. Well, I was searching for a solution after upgrading to Windows 11 Insider Preview, and only today, found the solution.
It's simple. Just follow the steps below:
1. Download uTorrent for free
You must first download and install a uTorrent executable file (uTorrent.exe) from their official website at https://www.utorrent.com/desktop/. Although the browser might warn you not to download the software, you can ignore the warning and continue with the downloading.
2. Disable Virus & Threat Protection
It's quite simple. You have to disable Virus and Threat Protection service on your machine for time-being until you install uTorrent. You can do so simply in Settings > Privacy & Security > Windows Security > Virus & Threat Protection for windows 11 and Settings > Windows Security > Virus & Threat Protection. Don't forget to turn them back on once you are done installing.
3. Allow uTorrent
The third and last step goes in waiting. You must wait until your system detects uTorrent and Blocks it. Then simply go back to the virus & threat protection center, and look for "Allowed Threats". Once in, you would see an empty window with link to "Protection History". Simply find the app with respect to the time installed or blocked, and scroll down on that card to find "Actions" Button. From that button, click "Allow on Device" and confirm that you want to do so.
Viola! You are done. Now you can access any torrent on your windows machine.
