Why is Microsoft Security downloading and installing updates on my Windows 11 Pro (Ver 23H2) Hewlett Packard Envy laptop PC that came from HP with Windows 11 Pro installed? I installed Norton 360 with Lifelock Advantage (Ver 22.23.10.10) on new PC when out of box and have made sure the Norton is managing AV and firewall settings. I am also seeing that Smart Apps Contol is showing as "evaluation" mode on my system. Are these automatic downloads and installations from Microsoft related? Is this AI (Microsoft Co-Pilot) running amok?
i would think its on everyones windows device that this happens
Even though Defender is disabled, Windows will keep it up to date in case your regular AV has a problem. Defender will be up to date to take over your device's protection.
