Guest MarcoO Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 (edited) Dear ESET and forum members, I got ESET Smart Security 10 installed on Windows 10 1607 with activated Anti-Theft module (yeah it is a Notebook). Since the latest program update 10.0.369.1 the Windows Defender remains activated after every boot or restart. I deactivated the Defender but it turned on every time. I deinstalled ESET over the Windows Uninstaller and installed it again but that changed nothing. The Defender symbol is visible at the taskbar even if I deactivate it. I haven`t got this problem at my PC where I updated ESET to that version too and friends of mine haven`t got this problem on their PCs too. I called the ESET support but the friendly man didn`t know the problem and couldn`t help me. Maybe you got a solution. I know that I can deactivate the Defender by editing one or two keys in the Registry but I want that ESET controls the Defender. I want to mention that before the program update I hadn`t got that problem and I only did this, so no Windows updates or other things installed at this time. Many thanks for your help! Best regards Edited November 22, 2016 by MarcoO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freedompie 0 Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Yeah I have this problem on every boot too, but I think Windows Defender realizes there are 2 av providers and turns itself off after 5 mins in boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
