Has anyone consulted Microsoft directly on this theory of not using a third party anti virus on Windows 10?

Let's get serious !!

Windows Defender is mostly crap. There was a virus that infected me and it disabled Windows defender via group policy. I had to install avast to clean up the PC

I agree, but how long does it take users to update the OS? What about those malwares made to exploit OS vulnerabilities? Also the unknown threats that might not have been envisioned during the making of the OS.

@Martin from experience in the last 2 years updating your OS will kill most of these issues. There is a reason Microsoft and all these other OS companies never tell you to buy an antivirus. Most people view Windows Security updates like the enemy but in actuality they are not. If you have an original copy of Windows just update Windows Defender and you are covered.
