Hit Enter and let me know the result.

I'd advise you to install AVG and leave Windows Defender as it is, if that's fine with you. We have resolved your primary issue successfully, and there is a workaround for this one. :)

 

[LXM]

totally fine. :) I think we can call this resolved. Thank you for all the time and effort you put into this with + for me. Do you maybe maintain an Amazon wishlist or any other way that would allow me to send a little token of my gratitude your way?
:)
Cheers
