[QUOTE="SeriousHoax, post: 1030871, member: 78686"] Bot is not fully accurate. It is a normal behavior on Windows 11 22H2, mainly it's normal for all systems where Windows 11 was freshly installed. The defender process will be running all the time but it's not active. It's in a dormant state with no resource consumption excluding ram but as you can see, it's not using much. MD's signature will update daily with Windows Update otherwise, it does nothing. But still, it bothers me, and I use Defender Control to turn it off before installing a third-party AV. Defender Control doesn't work if Tamper Protection is on and AFAIK, it's not possible to turn off Tamper Protection when a third-party product is already installed. So there is no simple way to disable it now on your system. You can just ignore it and keep using your PC normally. [/QUOTE]
