    Windows Security/defender not activating after puting avast in passive mode.


    I am currently using windows 10 and like to use avast for weekly deep scans and use windows default securit/defender for real time protection. Even after puting avast in passive mode it still claims avast is the main defender and gives me no option to change it. Even after going into windows defender/security there was no option to enable it except for periodic scans. Afetr I put avast into passive mode a notificaation popped up saying there was nothing protecting my computer. After I clicked the message it said avast was protectting me but avast claimed it wasn't protecting me.

    :)

    Defender in Passive Mode?

    I installed Avast (free version) on my new pc because I have had good success with Avast on my Mac for years.

    I have repeatedly read that if third-party AV software is installed, Defender will automatically be disabled. This does not appear to be the case because in the System Tray I have the Defender Icon showing with a green checkmark. If I click the Defender icon the Defender Security Center opens and I get green checkmarks across the board.

    I googled and found information about Defender's "Passive Mode," but I don't know if that's what's going on:

    Windows Defender Antivirus compatibility with other security products | Microsoft Docs

    I also found information about Defender not turning off even when third-party AV software is installed.:

    I would like to know if Defender is in Passive Mode, which I suppose is okay, or if it is running, and if so, what to do about it.

    Defender in Passive Mode?

    That icon is not for Windows Defender, but for Defender Security Center.

    When you click on Virus & threat protection, you should see, that Avast is up and running.
