    How to enable windows defender


    Hello I bought a new laptop that came with Webroot antivirus. I do not like this program and want to use the default Windows Defender, but I do not see an option to change it back, or uninstall the other program. They both are present in the settings, but windows defender says something like, "you are using other software." Can someone please help me get rid of this dumb software I don't want and reset it to the default Microsoft antivirus?

    :)
