Hello @AntonyMagnus,
During the setup, Bitdefender identifiesother security productsthat were previously installed. To ensure these different security solutions will not cause difficulties, you will be advised to uninstall them.
Having two or more security solutions installed at the same time can have a negative impact on your computer. Thesymptoms may include but are not limited todegraded performance, system crashes, and software errors.
During installation, Bitdefender deactivates and replaces windows Defender and no further action should be required from you afterwards. You don't have to deactivate anything. Bitdefender does not use virtualization based security on windows, but there is no need to activate other windows settings like the ones you've mentioned to have the system protected. The antivirus already offers complete protection and detects any vulnerability.
To ensure you are protected and the antivirus is operating as expected, you can also read the below article for the complete checklist:

Thank you for the explanation, may I suggest that Bitdefender highlight this in its FAQ information. It would be very helpful for Microsoft Defender users migrating to Bitdefender. As we all know Microsoft Defender is installed by default with all M$ products and this information should be made available!
