Starting with Server 2016 (and continuing with 2019), Microsoft changed the way their Windows Defender works when installing a 3rd party AV solution. Namely they made it so that the installation of the 3rd party AV no longer disables the built-in Windows Defender.
I actually found this out when I was receiving CPU alerts for a domain controller. Recently added monitoring and alerting to an existing site and found that Sophos AV was competing with Windows Defender and both scanning at the same time. Yay.
Open a Powershell command as Administrator:
Uninstall-WindowsFeature -Name Windows-DefenderThen reboot the server.
