Best Free Antivirus Alternatives to Windows Defender

What free Windows antivirus offers the best protection?
The Windows Defender Security Center comes loaded on all Windows 10 devices, and it is quite good at its job. It isn't an enormous resource hog, it runs in the background quietly so that most of the time you won't even know it's there, and it doesn't bug you to upgrade to its full, paid versions. Many people swear you need nothing more than Defender, but others disagree. For anyone who wants a bit more protection without having to pay an arm and a leg, we rounded up the best free antivirus alternatives to Windows Defender.

Stream media to device broken in CU.

I have been wondering if anyone knows anything about why the stream media to DNLA function, in Edge, has stopped working since the CU?
It seems the function is completely broken now, it is only possible to stream media to Wireless Screens or Miracast, and not to DNLA devices. The "streaming-promt" has changed from the one used in fx the Movies and Video App, to the "connect-promt" in the action center.
There has been no word from MS on this matter, and it hasn't been mentioned in any changelogs. It is a function i have been using a lot, so im very frustrated.

Satya Nadella vs John Sculley

The year was 1985. Steve Jobs was doing was he did best. He was busy making new roads. Unfortunately, the best products are not always the best selling products and this reflected in their balance sheet. Soon, the board of directors marched in, drove him out of the company and killed many products.

Today, when I look at Microsoft, I feel that history is repeating itself. Its hard to ignore the similarities between Sculley and Nadella.

From removal of key employees (like Steven Elop) to killing of major products like Windows Phones and Kinect, and finally launching of ambitious but poorly implemented ideas like Continuum, everything makes me feel that Nadella and Sculley are perhaps two very similar people separated by time. What do you think?
