Avast and Defender together

When I work at home and I want a connection with my computer at my work( via VPN) I have to use Defender. It is required, otherwise no connection. . I use Avast Free and I want to keep it. Is there a possibility to deactivate temporarily Avast so I can install Defender and use my VPN with Defender (without uninstall Avast), and for work at home deactivate Defender and still use Avast?

See: https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=189162.msg1327881#msg1327881

I run: reg add “HKLM\Software\Avast Software\Avast\Wsc” /v IReallyWantDefenderOnAndDecreasedPerformanceOnLegacySystems /t REG_DWORD /d 42 /reg:32. But I still can’t activate Defender in win10, says “another antivirusprogram is running”. Solution?

Tell the admin he is a nutcase ;D
It is foolish not to allow a better protection than Defender is offering.
