What problems is Microsoft Defender for Endpoint solving and how is that benefiting you?

I still remember that there was spyware on my laptop, and the antivirus software that was there on my laptop did not detect it, and my laptop was actually hanging a lot. There was a lot of hanging. Was keeping. But I was not able to understand why this was happening, so once I turned on Microsoft Defender and deactivated the antivirus, I came to know that Microsoft Defender found that spyware, and then I understood that whatever was on it.
