I had a surprising Notification flag this morning (win10 1903) stating that Windows Defender had found no problems from 3 scans. Afraid did not think to take a screenshot. I thought Windows Defender was set dormant when Avast is installed and running? Could Avast drop down to Defender in event of an Avast update. Looks like some Avast Secure Browser update has occured. Using Avast free 19.7.2388 (build 19.7.4674.524) |

I never run demand scan with Defender. So was not the result of that. |

So you may not have set it to scan if the above is correct. |

Also had to do a Restart requested by Avast UI today. No reason given and I cannot see change to build version. I have 19.7.2388 (build 19.7.4674.531). |
