Question

How do I turn off McAfee off on my new Win 11

Georg Wille 65

I have bought a new win 11 laptop machine and it comes with McAfee enabled, as shown in Settings - Privacy & security - Virus & threat protection.

My information is that Windows Defender can do the job all alone - is that not right?
How do I uninstall McAfee from my machine?

Hi, and welcome to Microsoft Q&A.

Yes, Windows Defender, along with Windows Security, is all you need to get the job done. The Windows Security settings are at Windows Start > Settings > Privacy and Security > Windows Security.

You can uninstall McAfee by going to Windows Start > Settings > Apps > Installed Apps. Scroll down to the McAfee program and uninstall it.

I hope that helps.

Craig
