I don’t even use windows defender. Never had any issues. (My windows PC is primarily for gaming)

Do you have windows 8, 10 or 11?

Defender has been on in the background this entire time and you don't even know it. It is on by default and incredibly hard to truly disable.

Windows 11. It’s not that hard to completely remove. I have also removed Bluetooth and lots of other non essential functions. There are plenty of tools on GitHub that can do it. You can also just use a custom ISO.
