Windows Defender is disrupting game performance.
Windows Defender is disrupting game performance.
For users in the US, this discussion covers Kaspersky updates and alternatives. BitDefender is suggested as a safer antivirus option compared to UltraAV.
We provided several choices, but you didn’t mention whether you attempted them. The in-place upgrade/repair install option I suggested should resolve problems like this. If you tried it and it failed, I can see why you’d feel that way. Your response suggests you likely didn’t try it, so complaints about missing options might not be valid. Also, just a note—Kaspersky isn’t great; consider Malwarebytes or other reputable tools with solid reviews.
