Abstract

If you prefer to use third-party antivirus software in Windows, such as Norton 360 (see our Reader Offer on page 70), Windows should automatically detect its installation and disable Microsoft Defender and Windows Firewall. FixWin can force Windows to detect which security software you have installed FixWin repairs Microsoft Defender Antivirus by reregistering multiple DLL files Use FixWin to remove "administrator" restrictions from Windows tools Re-enable the Hibernate feature The power-saving feature Hibernate is unnecessary if your PC has an SSD, but it's useful for traditional hard drives. 2 Solve problems with Microsoft Store apps Lots of great free Windows tools are now available as apps from the Microsoft Store, rather than - or as well as - traditional desktop programs. Five FixWin settings you should ignore Reset Internet Explorer FixWin includes several IE fixes that have presumably carried over from a previous version of the program. [Extracted from the article]
