Edit #1 - Nov 29, 2023: Tested on Windows 11 22H2, it does NOT work on Windows 11
Well, I found a method to install Microsoft Security Essentials on Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows 10and Windows 11. But theres a catch. Even though it can install, definitions wont update for some reason, so its basically useless, but if anyone wants to do this, here you go:
1. Download Microsoft Security Essentials from www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/microsoft_security_essentials_for_windows.html
2. Right click, then click properties and change the compatibility to Windows 7
3. Open cmd as admin
4. Drag the Microsoft Security Essentials installer in the cmd window, hit space and add "/disableoslimit"
Now Security Essentials should be installing as usual!
Also, here is the proof that this actually works! (Windowblinds causes some graphical bugs)
