Upgraded from 8.1 to 10. is Avast compatible with Windows Defender

If Avast is not compatible with windows Defender then how can I uninstall Defender? I have used Avast for many years and am more comfortable with it. :)

When you install Avast or another AV Defender will be disabled.

HTH

Thank you for your reply but I upgraded and Avast was already installed (windows 8.1). Both Avast and Defender are active. The Defender icon is on the Taskbar and is active and requests to be updated.

I tried to find gpedit.msc but it is not to be found. This is becoming a little frustrating. Is there a way to uninstall Defender?

Open defender, go to settings. Then turn off real time protection. It may be on your computer but it does nothing. No more conflicts.
