WIndows Defender not Going Dormant
« on: January 27, 2018, 04:57:36 AM »
On Win 10, when I used other anti-virus software, Windows Defender automatically went dormant as soon as it detercted the other AV product, crating a nice backstop should something go wrong (like me disabling something in my stupidity). With Avast it runs concurrent, creating somewhat of a slowdown. How do I make Windows Defende dormant withiut disabling it totally?

What makes you claim that it's not dormant ?
