> Windows 10 box to go sleep I know I am in for an infuriating waste of minutes' worth of disk thrashing before the bloody thing even deigns to reacknowledge my existence.

Yeah, what the heck is this? I use a win10 box solely for gaming, and every single time I wake from sleep, Antimalware Executable keeps my machine from doing anything for several minutes. It's infuriating.

Silly user. The computer exists to update itself. Whatever trivial task you want to do is a secondary concern.

You joke, but there is a surprising amount of software that does not have its user as the primary thing it cares about.

Just get a proper antivirus and it will probably disable the built-in security suite for you

While making your computer even worse?

For many years, I had a very nice experience with NOD32. By far the best antivirus I have used in terms of UI and resources. Well, admittedly not that high of a bar.. but they really seem to care about efficiency and and elegance.

Considering the built in one is pretty slow (and gives useless notifications), I expect it would be an improvement.
