Thank you crisoliv and Arthi, both your answers where very helpful. Please forgive this very late feedback. Windows Defender and Malware Bytes are running side by side on my two laptops without any problems showing. I have not made any changes in Windows Defender at all. In Malware Bytes Premium I only turned on "Enable self-protection module early start" under the Settings - Protection tab.

I’m wondering about the configuration of Windows 10. Before Microsoft ended support for EMET it was not recommended to run EMET and other exploit protection on the same PC. But now Windows 10 has most of the exploit protection from EMET built-in. Then this question arise: If you have Malware Bytes 3.1 Premium on an updated Windows 10 PC should you disable the built-in exploit protection in Windows 10 to avoid conflict? Or can you have exploit protection in Malware Bytes and Windows 10 working side by side providing double protection without any issues? It seems so since I have been running both on the same laptop for many weeks now. But sometimes an issue can exist on a system without showing any symptoms for a while. And then, one day, suddenly it hits you… The manual for Malware Byte doesn't say whether you should or shouldn’t run both. It would be nice to know if it’s OK to use both or not.
