Hi There, We have a customer who wants to have Cortex & Microsoft solutions on all their Windows 10 endpoints. So here is my query - Can Cortex XDR co-exist with Microsoft Defender for Endpoint on same endpoints and both operate optimally and independently of each other? Thanks in advance! Dr. Praveen Talwar (Praveen.Talwar@Spark.co.nz)

Hello @Praveen Talwar, please note that you can also create a new question from your Home feed: https://www.itcentralstation.c... . This way, it will get higher visibility (it just should not include any marketing or sales content). I hope this is helpful.
