Malwarebytes and Windows Defender
Recently Malwarebytes seems to be playing less well with Windows Defender. On restart either Windows Defender is deactivated or I'm shut out of Controlled Folder Access settings...
After my latest restart I can't switch on Defender Real-time protection or Controlled Folder Access. Disabling all but Web Protection seems to allow Defender back in.
Is this a bug or has Malwarebytes now taken over Real-time protection and Controlled Folder Access/Ransomware from Defender?
Malwarebytes by default registers in the action center which turns off Defender. Malwarebytes is designed to be a REPLACEMENT to antivirus.
Most of us prefer to have both running including myself. That is why the option is available to turn off the option to register in the Windows security center.
