can anyone tell me wher Windows defender is in my Microsoft lumia 950xl please and thanks in advance

[Windows Central Question]

Can't find it anywhere but my win 10 laptop has it

Since Windows Phone operates differently than Windows PC's there is no need for Windows Defender. Are you experiencing issues with your phone?

Just with the battery but I believe it to be software related

Well, I can assure you that I am just about certain a virus or any malicious actor is not the cause here.

If you believe the issue to be software, you can factory reset the phone or reinstall it's firmware entirely using the Windows Device Recovery Tool but if the issue persists, it is then hardware.

I do thank you very much reset is what caused the issue. It's the updates i need the bandwidth for
