Microsoft removes the ability to disable Defender via the registery

Do they still run antivirus in Azure Windows Server VM instances? I was kind of taken aback by that a few years ago.

This sounds like a feature that should have never been introduced?

What, the freedom to control a feature of your operating-system?

Remember, AV-Software is mostly BS.

Regardless of what you think about the trade-offs to security, at the end of the day the purpose of the computer is to serve it's user, and do what they instruct.

It's not Microsoft's machine, and they oughtn't try to overrule what people try to do with it.

(And yes, personally I use Linux. But I don't think that ought to be the bar for having your devices do what you tell them to)

It hogs my gaming machine! Come on, Microsoft!
