ESET Internet security and windows defender

[Milan98 2]

Hello everyone, i have annoying notification every time i start my pc: Windows Defender and ESET are both turned off. Here is the deal, ESET is not turned off, windows defender is turned off because i dont like 2 AV at same time and Defender is bad. I disabled it through group policy on my pc yet it always show this notification. I saw other people had problem with firewalls from both AV, and i dont have that problem, just this. Any suggestions ? Should i worry about it ?

Eset when installed, auto disables Windows Defender.

One possibility is your Group Policy setting to disable WD is interfering with Eset properly registering itself in Windows Security Center, and letting Win 10 know Eset is the active real-time protection solution.

Okay, i will try to enable it through group policy then, and see what happens

Leave the GP unconfigured , ESET should be able to close Defender and replace it.
