I was thinking of installing Win 11 but not sure if it is compatible with Shadow Defender ... anybody know?

I'm on Windows 11 since a few weeks, Shadow Defender works well here without any noticeable issues (y)

In case you want using an 3rd party AV, it's recommended to install first your AV and after that installing Shadow Defender.

Thanks guys, it'll probably work then ... I have a Macrium Image waiting if all hell breaks loose.
I don't use a 3rd party AV ... just Windows Defender ... which is just about as useless as any other AV (imho) ... that's why I use SD.

Shadow Defender can protect you from malware that focuses on making your system unusable or that is encrypting your files for example. After all it can't protect you from data theft so I wouldn't call AVs useless.
