    MS Security Essentials


    WInX comes with Defender, but I prefer Security Essentials. Is there a way to upgrade to MS Security Essentials?

    Windows 10 Windows Defender versus Microsoft Security Essentials

    Hi Bryan,

    Microsoft Security Essentials was upgraded to Windows defender and it was a default security software from Windows 8. You cannot have both as they are one.

    Since you get this annoying popup at the startup i suggest you to disable any Microsoft Security Essentials entries in Startup tab.

    • Open the Task manager. by pressing Press CTRL+Shift+ESC.
    • click on Startup tab
    • Right click on Microsoft Security Essentials entry and click on Disable.

    Restart the computer and check if that helps.

    Cannot uninstall MS Security Essentials

    I had MS Security Essentials when in Windows 7.

    Now that I have upgraded to Windows 10, I'm trying to uninstall MS Security Essentials but couldn't.

    The reason I want to do it is the Windows Defender that comes with Windows 10 seems to provided added protection for rootkits and bootkits.

    In my computer, Windows Defended has been turned off (automatically?), and I can't uninstall MS Security Essentials (I get a message saying "You don't need to install MS Security Essentials" when trying to uninstall it, which is weird because I'm trying
    to uninstall, not install it). I also cannot turn Windows Defender on because all I get is a message saying "This app has been turned off and isn't monitoring your computer", without the ability to go any further.

    MS Security Essentials is running fine and seems to have a better User Interface (Extra "Settings tab" not found in Windows Defender, that allows you to set a scheduled scan, automatically check for definition files etc...). I know this because I just bought
    a brand new computer with Windows 10 that only has Windows Defender on it.

    What can (or should) I do?

    Thanks
