There are no issues with Defender. I actually recommend you use it together to get the benefit of both.
To do this you need to switch off the following setting in Malwarebytes.

Oh ok can handle switching that off just fine

Purchasing in a few here, then will get it all situated

Hello @bikemanI7:

Great perpetual care is taken by the Malwarebytes teams to make MBAM Premium compatible with Microsoft Defender.

Once successfully installed, it is strongly suggested the MBAM Security Center setting be toggled to disable (grayed as shown). This allows the active defenses of both protections to be active.

For the forever unconvinced, mutual exclusions may still be set in both products.

Yes did turn off MBam security center registration on all 3 Systems, So far seems to be working fine, if needed i'll do the exclusions, but so far doesn't seem like i'll need them.

Then next Christmas will just renew or buy another copy, and should be all set to continue on with the excellent protection, always wanted to buy it, just other years was unsure if i could swing it, but finally decided it was worth it, and went for it

Though if sometime in the future i need to do a clean install or replace a drive, is it best to Deactivate the license if possible first? on that Computer?

Only other thing that worried me

glasskuter · Dec 30, 2022

When replacing a drive, I have always restored an image so it was not necessary to deactivate. It might not be absolutely necessary, but I would play it safe and deactivate first when doing a clean install, but I haven't had to do that. I have had to deactivate when moving my MWB to another computer though.

I'm fortunate. I bought MWB many years ago for a one time charge. When they started charging per year, I was grandfathered in so never have to pay a yearly fee.

bikemanI7 · Dec 30, 2022

Yeah i missed the lifetime subscription time, so i gotta pay a yearly fee, but i'll do it, and continue using it. So far its working very well--

Hoping to keep same computer at least the Desktop for many more years, and Laptop in the future might end up getting newer one in the way future

If doing an absolute fresh Windows® install - yes. Also, if you haven't already done so, make sure your license(s) are registered in my.malwarebytes for safety now, and years from now.

Yes Registered on my.malwarebytes page, so think im all good for now. No concentrate plans for a fresh install on any system as yet.

Though eventually am upgrading Laptops M.2 128GB NvMe SSD at some point or replacing with a newer system in the future, depending on if its worth the labor costs at shop to do the upgrade ((Can't get final screw to come out myself with this Laptop)) tried with all the screwdrivers i have, even with PC toolkit bought--will see on that around birthday
