Try out a modern version of Windows Defender yourself

As we told you a few days ago, Windows Defender deserves a modern theme in Windows 10, and the Redstone 2 is the one that could bring it, especially because Microsoft has focused on its functionality for the Anniversary Update, and it’s time to give it a visual overhaul as well.

And because a concept released recently and imagining a modern look for Windows Defender was really successful, reddit user grigby has decided to go one step further and create a demo app that helps us try out this new interface ourselves.

He thus built an application that has no features but comes with a modern UI of Windows Defender, showing us exactly what the antivirus solution would look like with the new interface. There are no features, just a UI demo, and you can try it by sideloading the app on your system.

“I created a UWP ‘app’ that showcases their concept for Windows Defender. The app has four theme combinations available and is fully scalable with window size. While the UI is mostly in place, there is no backend code here; most buttons do nothing. It is simply a UI demonstration,” the developer explains.

Microsoft hasn’t said anything about a potential makeover of Windows Defender, but there’s no doubt that users want it, so with a little luck, Redstone 2, due in spring 2017, will bring some changes in this regard.
