2022-03-29T04:42:33+00:00 Yes I'll leave it as it is and when I'll encounter any issue then I'll do a Windows reinstall. What do you think about it?

I don't think you read everything in our replies- I had requested you multiple times to read through our answers to get the answer for the same.
Honestly I think it'd be better to leave your device as it is if there aren't any serious issues. Many can be easily fixed with a repair install (InPlace upgrade) so I don't see the necessity to go through a reset process and post hell lot of replies.

I am only asking my queries.
If I do a clean install/reset then will Defender be fixed?
Sorry if I disturbed you all
