    What benefits does Windows Defender give me with a Microsoft Account?


    Windows Defender wants me to sign in with a Microsoft Account for "enhanced security and other benefits".
    However it doesn't explain what these benefits are.
    What does Windows Defender give me for signing in with a Microsoft Account?

    I'm using Windows 10 1909
