I couldn't disable the anti-virus in Windows 10 that kept checking my hard drive (yes, my laptop is so old it has a hard drive) and making it slow down

then I just downloaded a program that let me disable it, and I also disabled the firewall

but without the firewall service, I can't get updates (why is that service a pre-requisite for updates?), and I forgot how to re-enable it because I don't remember what program I used to disable it since it's some hack anyway

so now my Windows partition is not really usable, and I'm typing this on Linux where I can just change stuff without breaking everything
