Windows Defender is an Antivirus that ships with Windows 8 and Windows 10. Microsoft says that you do not need an antivirus if you use either of the OS. However, in earlier Windows versions, such as 7 and 8, Windows Defender acts as an Anti-malware, but not an Antivirus.
Personally, I feel Windows Defender is enough as an AV for home users, as it is lightweight and does not hog up any resources.

The UI of Windows Defender has remained the same for ages, unchanged since its introduction. However, with the Anniversary Update to Windows 10, Microsoft added some essential features to Windows Defender, such as scanning even when a third-party AV is Installed, adding a context menu to files and folders, etc.

Now, as UWP apps are increasingly promoted by Microsoft, the software giant has begun to revamp its traditional desktop apps for UWP. Earlier, Paint was predicted to be overhauled, and now, thanks to an article from WinBeta, the next one to update to UWP is Windows Defender.
A source Marvin has confirmed the same, with the design being shown as clean and rightly filled into the system. The picture shows Windows Defender in light theme, with additional options put into hamburger options on the left which is a little lower.
This overhaul will probably come with the creator’s update due spring 2017.
