I agree with the anti-prebundled AV comment. I for one have even disabled Windows Defender on Windows 10. It seems to become just another way of Microsoft tracking you these days. Plus, it's not even that effective as an anti-virus, and anti-virus software is mostly useless as it is (for more tech savvy users).
It would probably be even more practical to kill Windows Defender on Windows 10 considering Microsoft makes updates mandatory now - if only it wasn't for the fact that Microsoft gutted its Q&A team and now Windows 10 updates often break your computer, forcing you to wait on the updates before you're sure your notebook can't be bricked or something.
It's also annoys me that Microsoft is tying its App Guard sandboxing technique to Windows Defender, when it's completely unnecessary, and it will only make it harder to separate the two in the future, if nothing else for branding's sake.
