[B]Pros:[/B] decent and stable security foundation/out of sight,out of mind almost always/takes adjunct security programs without problems (like ERP) strengthening baseline protections now made possible by group policy in home version, does not affect machine performance (disk is mostly free as stated above) [B]Cons:[/B] Crytpic "help" texts frequently explain nothing/controls are hidden/group policy may not fully explain the changes/one has to come across certain highly desirable features first (like PUP detections, Defender does not spoon-feed), default protections are inadequate, general OS problems may affect WD as well/support forum is in the Microsoft community forums instead of a separate, dedicated and more comprehensive place/Defender remains vulnerable to bypass.
