    Nothing free is good. NOD32 Antivirus if you want the best protection with no false positives and doesn't conflict with your other software like many AVs do these days

    That's not true.

    Avira free was, and still is, better than most of the paid AV, even NOD32 that once was unbeatable, but is not so bulletproof anymore.

    Nod is still a good choice anyway because the balance of lightness and effectiveness.

    I disabled Defender, and replaced it with an excellent alternative.

    Can someone help set Chromium as default?
    I can set it as such for files, but not for protocols, and it does not appear in Settings either.
    I tried modifying the Canary hack (techdows.com/2012/05/set-chrome-canary-as-default-browser-in-windows.html) to work with Chromium, to no avail.
    Can't post links yet.

    **dont hold me responsible it this renders your system unbootable, if it does, this same site has the information to fix it**



    people with intel achi drivers, might want to try without the drivers.




    I was some others had the same issue

    when booting the system. the spinning circle would show normal.
    but then when the display drivers kick in and reset the display. the spinning circle would come back and was corrupted and going from the left side to the right side of the screen.

    I fixed it.

    but it was random because I wasnt trying to fix it.

    I have been having latency issues with storport.sys,
    I was trying to fix that, and I uninstalled the achi and told device manager to delete the files. rebooted . and went into safemode just to be sure system would boot. and it did.

    so I rebooted and window 10 started booting

    got greeted by the normal spinning logo. display reset, lockscreen.

    eh what....

    system now boots twice as fast. and the above problem was fix as well.

    only thing is this is only running microsoft standard achi driver.

    I can answer your question
    but is not a simply way to do it , I really don't have time now
    I will explain later , I will make probably a separate thread
    because the solution I found can solve a lot of OTHER problems
    but not before to read the all posts after this one .
    [I mean , maybe someone already answered to your question] .

    /edited
    [and I am also interested in a simplified solution]

    [
    I suppose your question is about win 10 ,
    because for win8- versions is a simply registry tweak
    ]
