Microsoft Defender

[brucem]

Recently I started getting, approximately daily, an email saying: Real-time protection was turned off on the Windows device Desktop ....... 
When I go to Defender I am told that the machine is protected, managed by Malwarebytes.  Can I stop the notification from Microsoft?

Seems to be a common issue if this thread is anything to go by

Seems to be an issue when other AV software is in place (and presumably you are logged in to windows with a MS account as against a local account) .
Not a lot of consensus on cause or fixing but I think the simplest solution is set-up a filter in your email to delete them automagically. Maybe try switching to a local account also...

Its because you are more than likely signed in to MS As King posted.

Thats another reason I wont use ( or setup) a MS account, no need to tell them everything.
