Windows 10: How to get Windows Security or the Windows Defender back?

While downloading an old game, my PC got infected with nasty malware. Unknowingly, I gave it administrator access, and it instantly removed Windows Defender from my PC. I run Windows 11, although my processor doesn't support it. I downloaded Windows 11 from the official Microsoft app and downloaded it using the official/Microsoft way. Furthermore, I just edited one line and removed the dependency for the processor from the setup, following a YouTube tutorial, and it was installed. I've even received Windows 11 updates and installed them without any problems.Back to the issue, I can't run Windo

"Attestation" A new feature coming to Windows Defender in Windows 10

Tech Republic - Upcoming Windows Defender feature will tell you when security fails

This seems very promising. Microsoft is in the unique position to know what Windows should look like, even before Windows Update pushes out new changes. As long as MS can properly sync WD with WU changes AND this new features does not make any "noticeable" hit on system performance/resources, all without any false positives, this should be a big step forward for consumer security, and a blow to the bad guys - always a good thing.

Of course, there will likely be some hiccups the Windows/Microsoft/Windows Defender bashers will surely pounce on - regardless how extensive the Beta process is. But hopefully open and unbiased minds will prevail. After all, the goal is to stop the bad guys and if this gets us closer to that, that's a very good thing.
