    Windows 10 17134.407 and third party antivirus software

    Hi everyone :

    Installed the latest CU 17134.407 with no issues, but Windows Defender got activated along my 3rd. party antivirus software (Norton Security 22.16.2.22). So I uninstalled Norton and then reinstalled it, so problem resolved.

    So if you have a 3rd. party antivirus pay attention to that. *Smile*Smile*Smile
