Defender, as per Windows 10 philosophy, is extremely annoying to use with its UI and behavior that makes you feel every setting and button you press is entirely useless and nothing will change. A shame the old Security Essentials UI was removed entirely, it was the only bearable hack-y way to use it. I just disable it permanently on every machine. The anti-malware service likes to eat disk activity when you're working, and most importantly, exceptions handling is useless: I've seen it delete or quarantine (and then delete) files put into exceptions multiple times, repeatedly, as if the exception list was getting reset, or expired. This kind of software behavior is unacceptable in any way or form.
