Will Windows Firewall and Defender be continued after End of Security Updates?

And should I install an independent anti-virus program?.

  Hi johntosh:

  1. Windows Firewall will continue to work normally.
  2. Windows Defender will also continue to work and will keep getting updates. See https://support.0patch.com/hc/en-us/articles/22471757886610-Will-Windows-Defender-Antivirus-keep-working-and-receiving-updates-on-Windows-10-after-October-2025
