No. However, Windows defender works perfect and two competing anti-virus programs eats up processing time. Choose one or the other. Update the system when your are supposed to and don’t go to bad websites or open junk email. I have used defender for years and kept the unit up to date and it has been great.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.What the "S" means that you can only install programs downloaded from Microsoft Store. You can turn off the safe mode ... but you can not turn it back on.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hello, Windows 11 S mode is specifically vetting websites and links so that it is the safest of operating systems and you should not necessitate needing Norton Anti-Virus. S Mode won't run Win32 EXE apps and other legacy executable types so it's inherently protected from malware. You can read more on Windows 11 S Mode on the Microsoft Windows website. Thank you for being an HP customer!
