Microsoft Boss Teases "Next Generation of Windows" Announcement "Very Soon"
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella took to the Build Conference to announce "an imminent announcement" on the "next generation of Windows". The Microsoft CEO said that we should be expecting news on a revamped Windows experience that aims to be "one of the most significant updates to Windows of the past decade to unlock greater economic opportunity for developers and creators". There was no word on when we can expect such an announcement - or even available deployment of such version of windows - but considering this was done during the Build Conference, it makes sense that we actually won't be hearing about this until after the end of the Conference.
It's expected that this "next generation of Windows" comes with a revamped Windows store experience - which we already know Microsoft was prioritizing as of late. At the same time, the new version of windows could possess a radical new interface aesthetic redesign, pushing it more into the digital render space we've been slowly walking towards. Whatever this update actually encompasses, according to Satya Nadella, we won't have to wait too long for it. Look after the break for the excerpt on the release of this "new Windows".

You can also control defender like the advanced malware products using group policy, cloud behaviour etc, is just the controls are not made as easily accessible.
I can understand why people want it off, although I think removing it from the system is overkill and can potentially break the OS like when people had issues with the update in May because they had removed Edge from windows. Defender in its default mode with behaviour blocking on and real time file scanning on is quite heavy on the system.
It is always an interesting topic, as is performance vs security vs convenience. you give the people who do the silly things to get malware the power to easily bypass the protection then they will let the malware when run when something like norton offers you the chance to let it run, so can understand why Microsoft doesnt make it as easy to bypass defender's decisions.
In terms of data hoarding, today I spent some hours cleaning out google's password manager, I enabled it on a phone to make it easier to login to two apps, then later found it auto added behind my back 400 saved passwords from an old chrome desktop install.
You either upload the suspicious file or you have to hunt down malware's source (not source code) and get a sample from there. And hunting down its source is not always feasible, especially for malware that smarter than what a script kiddie will write. That's all I'm saying.
Edit: Mind you, I'm not advocating for indiscriminate file uploads. I'm just trying to explain uploads are often necessary (after heuristics have determined the file exhibits suspicious behavior; preferably after requesting user's permission).
but this is probably utopia
The removal of Edge breaking updates is documented on the internet, it is/was a thing. :)
As for storage of passwords, my brain isnt capable of remembering 100s of unique strong passwords, so I will carry on using keeppass thank you. :)
From talking to people. many do this by applying some sort of algorithm, but humans use algorithms you will decipher with a handful of password leaks.
But I fully agree reliance on others is pretty foolish.
