Microsoft Security Essentials Windows 11
Gifford Brickley
If you are running Windows 10 Microsoft Security Essentials is built in and you can not remove it. However during the install Bitdefender will disable the Windows security feature which is Microsoft Security Essentials. Microsoft Security Essentials was only a manual install on previous versions of Windows. No fear in disabling this if you are installing Bitdefender. You can also disable the alerts for this software in Windows Security At a Glance settings.
Additionally, if I will compare MSE of windows 7 with Windows Defender of windows 10, Windows defender has ransomware protection, advanced threat defense which is not available in MSE. Also Windows Defender in windows 10 has machine learning which is not available in MSE. MSE is totally dependent on signatures.
I have un-installed it and then re-installed it and only the initial first scan will update and complete with no issues detected system being monitored. Then in a weeks time back to the same BS, but the desktop scans fully and no issues?? I have un-installed it again but this time turned Windows Defender back on. It immediately updated itself and I ran a full scan that it completed fine.
Windows Defender is a very useful feature of Windows 10. Therefore, I decided to move Windows 7 to Windows 10. But after upgrading Windows Defender did not replace Microsoft security essentials windows 10 and both exist on my computer. In this way, no one takes responsibility for securing my system against viruses. But after reading an article, I replace it and Windows Defender able to work on my system.
