I hate these articles that try and tell you they're cent. The quoted av-test.org mentioned is from Feb 2019 but anyway. I think it's good particularly when I set it to High in ConfiureDefender and use @Andy Ful 's Hard_Configurator to lock down my system ;)
I also use Windows Defender with some tweak in registry and group policy. It is much better compare to default one.
Thank you

I use it and I'm satisfied so far. The thing that bothers me the most is I don't know what data it collects. Microsoft's privacy policy isn't detailed so I have no way of knowing what it does in the back... 😕

I hate to admit it, but WD is on par with any other top notch AV in the terms of detection, ever-since it includes ATP.
I also use Windows Defender with some tweak in registry and group policy.
Exactly, it could really improve GUI and overall user friendliness to control its settings. It is like a great tasting cake, but it just lacks the topping. :)
