Windows 10: Can Windows Defender work with other Antiviruses?

I recently went to turn on real-time protection in Windows Defender and received an error saying that because I already use another AV in this case Malwarebytes, highly recommended, it remains disabled. Is there a workaround for this?

Is Using Windows Defender As Good As Avast or Other Antiviruses

I'm just wondering if Windows Defender will work as well as others will? Because the other ones keep advertising me to upgrade and it gets on my nerves. And was wondering if Windows Defender works as good as the other free antiviruses.

 

Windows Defender Not Working in Windows 10

Hi,

Thank you for using Windows 10.

Sorry for the delayed reply. I suggest you to Set Windows Defender to Automatic - You can set the Windows Defender service to Automatic, Disabled or Manual. Setting it to automatic might solve the problem. Follow these
steps:

• Click Start > type services in the Search box > click Services in the Programs list.
• Search for Windows defender.
• Double-click Windows Defender, and click Automatic in the start-up box > click OK.

Also, follow the below mentioned steps and check:

• Open the Task manager. Here’s a tip: Press CTRL+Shift+ESC.
• Click File > Run New Task
• Make sure you have a check mark beside “Create this task with administrative privileges”
  
• Type CMD
• Type the following 2 commands at the CMD prompt:
  
  dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
  
  sfc /scannow
  
  
• Close the CMD window

Keep us posted on the status of the issue and we’ll be glad to help.

 

Windows Defender sucks and so are other antiviruses (Help!)

My computer was recently hacked and I tried removing it with windows defender but windows defender does NOTHING about it! So I tried using other antiviruses, EVERY SINGLE ONE IN THE PAST HAS TOLD ME TO PAY FOR IT! And it's not cheap too! Is there any antivirus out there that needs no payment!? Or at least a trial then switch to pay! Or am I just straight up screwed?
