You don't need to turn off Windows Defender, you need to disable the file system filters entirely.
You can do that with Dev Drive [0][1] which is currently on the Win 11 dev branch.
You can't do this for your boot volume, but you can do it for a [dynamically expanding] VHDX, secondary partition, or secondary volume. It will use ReFS (oddly enough, with 4 KiB clusters by default -- though it makes sense for the target scenario, unlike past uses of ReFS).

How would this help with firing up all the built-in OS apps (Explorer, Notepad, etc.) being tested in the video?
It certainly wouldn't (though I don't experience the same issue, so not sure what to say to the video). Presumably your heavier apps would be installed to the Dev Drive.
How did I not hear about this before on HN? This is pretty cool.
