Why are people recommending Microsoft spyware in a privacy thread??
Here we are spaking about that this Spyware is pretty resistant against all kind of malware, not about that it's needed to gut it from all kind of telemetries, bloatware and not needed services before the first use, that is another thing.
The better option is not to use windows at all, but if you are, I don't think disabling windows defender will stop them from getting whatever they want anyway.
