Is it something wrong with the app? It seems to turn itself on and off and the phone is useless when it’s off. Also it is eating the battery so fast, so it must charge several times during the day.

MS Defender keeps turning itself off an sending messages that it was turned off. Why doesn’t it stay on as I requested.

Good somewhat of a VPN

I've been using Microsoft Defender VPN for a while now, and my experience has been a bit of a mixed bag. There are some definite highlights, but also a few drawbacks that can't be ignored. **The Good:** The VPN service does have its moments. When it works well, it provides a solid and secure connection, which is crucial for maintaining privacy online. The interface is user-friendly and integrates smoothly with other Microsoft Defender services. **The Bad:** Unfortunately, the high battery usage is a significant downside. My device's battery drains quickly when the VPN is active, which is inconvenient, especially when I'm on the go. Additionally, the dark web monitoring feature, while a nice touch, falls short. It doesn't offer a lot of options for dealing with compromised information, leaving me feeling a bit unprotected in that aspect. Overall, Microsoft Defender VPN is decent but has room for improvement, particularly in terms of battery efficiency and dark web monitoring capabilities.

Defender?

I attempted to add my email for monitoring. For verification, Defender sent me an email with a code to enter into Defender. I immediately, within seconds, entered the code in Defender and received: Invalid code. What? It’s the exact same code I received. After several attempts, receiving the same Defender error message I quit! Defender?
