Microsoft has the habit of trying to control the software present in Windows and thus guarantee some solutions that not everyone wants. A new case seems to be happening now, with one more app being installed. We are talking about Microsoft Defender, which is being installed in Windows unintentionally by users.
With Windows 10, Microsoft started to include a security solution in its operating system. The well-known Windows Security, the recent name given to the solution, gives users the necessary security and protection.
Now, and from what Microsoft itself has revealed, it will install one more protection, without anyone having asked. We are talking about Microsoft Defender, which is part of the Microsoft 365 package and which will thus be imposed on Windows users, even with Windows Security present.
This novelty, which many certainly did not want, is being sent by email to users who have subscribed to Office 365. From what they reveal, this will be automatically added to Windows 10 or Windows 11 during an update of Microsoft 365 apps. Users should look for the novelty and activate their protections.
From what Microsoft reveals, this new app will complement the protection it offers Windows users. The software giant shows in a published document that this union could help users, but also shows that the installation will be done automatically and without user control.
The reports that have emerged show that this process has already started and that many users are surprised to see Microsoft Defender installed. To make matters worse, there is information that even after being removed, this security solution is automatically installed again on the system.
Microsoft seems to be trying again to control the software that Windows has present, going over users. In this case, it is Microsoft Defender, which will complement Windows Security, even if many dispense with this combination of security solutions.
