1437352 2017-07-18 23:26:00 Be aware that in Windows 8.1, installation of Malwarebytes 3.x turns off Windows Defender.

It can be turned on again if you wish in the Malwarebytes settings by checking the radio button "Never register Malwarebytes in the Windows Action Center".

It does not turn off Defender in Windows 10.
