For casual users, modern implementation of Windows Defender has been pretty great. It has low overhead, doesn't tend to get in the way and does a good job of catching what is legitimately dangerous. It's not perfect, but for most people it's a great addon to common sense. If it's grinding the system to a halt, there's something else already quite wrong. |

I've seen this numerous times with fresh Win 10 installs on hardware I had just serviced.
Just a couple of weeks ago I resolved this situation for my brother who has a fairly old desktop with a 6th gen i5 and a hard drive. The system was completely unusable because windows 10 had so much crap running in the backround polling the disk, keeping all his software waiting. Disk was completely healthy. Did a full reinstall, barely improved. Installed an SSD, and it was like new.
