This page at Nerdschalk should help. And yes once removed Windows Security will take over.. And for the record Windows Security is consistently rated one of the top security programs by independent AV sites.
I have an XPS 8950, and I want to remove McAfee LiveSafe and use Windows Defender and firewall. I intend to remove it using Windows 11 remove programs. Is there a better way? Has anyone had problems using this method? I assume that once it is removed, I will be able to start Windows Defender. I used this method to remove Norton from a Surface Go tablet with Windows 10 several years ago and had no problems, but I cannot recall the particulars of doing it. Thanks.
