Version 1803 and Windows Defender

That actually went away by default about a year ago but you could get to it by creating a shortcut to the file you just noted. But now, it pulls up the new Windows Defender Security Center UI. It seems the old UI is gone for good. Too bad. I liked it too though I expect it is just because I was used to it.

 

Looking at the new and updated UI, it does provide, IMO, a lot more and easier access to all the new settings in WD.

 

I hear you on that. Some times I guess we just have to let the Luddites in us go - (he says as he uses Start10 to make W10 look and feel like W7!).

 

Christer, its called progress, innovation, new technology, change, alteration or whatever you would like to name it.
Do you accept all the improvements put in new cars these days? ABS, traction control, air bags, passing sensors, self-parking, GPS, Bluetooth etc.etc.
My motto is - adapt to change or get left behind.
This is why so many oldies don't understand remote controls for TV's, DVD players etc. They rely on their grandchildren to make adjustments for them.
Having said that, my wife is a classic example of some people who have no practical or technical skills and make no effort to learn or use the gadgets. (send me grapes at the hospital if she reads this).

 

I understand them. But even with my new trifocals, I cannot always find the button I want!

I am find with change - as long as it is not for the sake of change. Just had a related discussion in another forum about ZoneAlarm. Many years ago it was considered by many to be the best firewall out there. But then CheckPoint acquired them and added a spyware checker and this and that, turning it into a big, bloated "suite" that was a resource hog.

They "new and improved" it to death.

Funny story about your windshield wipers. Several years I splurged and bought a new Toyota Avalon after a nice promotion. This car had everything, including automatic windshield wipers. These things worked great! If there was a slight mist, they would periodically make a single swipe to clear it off. If there was a sudden downpour, they would immediately ramp up to full speed, then toggle down as the rain lessened. They never went too slow or too fast. I loved them.

Then I bought a new Ford truck. The first time I got caught out in a bad storm, I'm sitting there wondering why I can't see a thing. Then it dawned on me. I have to manually turn on the wipers. Luckily the controls were intuitively on the turn signal arm.

 

I agree. That seems like a stupid feature. I used to live in the desert southwest in Arizona and New Mexico. That last thing you want is your wipers to scrape across your bone-dry, dust covered windshield every time you turn the key.

 

I have not seen that problem. I did find this: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4096377/windows-10-update-security-processor-tpm-firmware
