Uninstall AVG, use Windows Defender, and never look back. AVG is not the product it use to be and Windows Defender does a great job without all the AVG/Avast junk.

Windows 10 component anti-virus or AVG (conflict)
Hello!
I have Windows 10 with Windows Defender anti-virus.
I wish to use AVG free instead, which I already downloaded and installed... the program says it works in passive mode, as that Defender is installed and it don't wanna conquer with it (has such mode).
What do I do... is it safe to uninstall some Windows 10 component (this Defender anti-virus)? Or I can stop it in some way - deactivate its anti-virus guards / features? ...I would like to deactivate it. How?
In many thanks!

I'll post it right here, again...
I've removed AVG now. Now, it's only Windows Defender working.
Another upcoming problem is that, after Windows startup, the Windows Defender doesn't shows up at the task bar. I have to launch it manually and that's how it shows there.
I haven't used CCleaner or anything yet! ...So it's not the registry.

At the task manager there's my ATI and OneDrive on auto-start, but no Defender to turn it on.
I need this icon back on!

Here's one site.
Option 3 is my favorite; but, how the hell to do it if Defender is NOT listed at the startups there?!
(Maybe let's do it cut and add way, like Windows 98 times - to find Startup folder and add shortcut/icon to it?)
...I really-really appreciate your professionalism - I'll try it there.

The stupid thing is that Microsoft is up to deactivate that icon, on that opinion to it.
...I cannot remember to see that Defender icon when I first installed.
I like the forum so much!
