Solved Windows Defender Pop Up At Start Up

I never see that screen in your shot. I think you want Defender running alongside MBAM (it's a widespread myth that they won't cooperate, but they will -- perfectly), and in order to get that situation, you have to open Malwarebytes, click Settings (the gear at the top), in the Settings window, click Security in the top row of tabs, and in the Security window, scroll down to Windows Security Center, and slide OFF the slider for Always register ...

That'll do 'er.

If you do that, and (for instance) you download a possibly malicious program and try to open it, Defender will grab it, and if you register that program with Defender as an acceptable threat and then try again to open it, Malwarebytes will grab it. Many AV programs are incompatible with Defender, but MBAM, properly set, isn't one of them.

There are several threads about running a third-party AV and Defender together on this Forum. I think it has been demonstrated conclusively that MBAM and WD run happily together.

EDIT: In all of the above, I'm referring to Malwarebytes Premium, not MBAM Free. The Free version doesn't run in real time, just on demand, and when used to scan (on demand), it doesn't interfere with Defender at all. Premium runs all the time in real time, with malware, ransomware, exploit, and Web protection live at all times, and runs alongside Defender, if MBAM Premium is properly set.
