No, it's part of Windows 10, it will be turned off when there is another anti virus running. Once you have removed the other AV, check to see that it's running.
To do that open settings, click update and security, click Windows security. If it is running there should be green ticks on the first 5 items. There are links on that page with details of what to do if there is a problem.
Could I suggest that you do a scan while there. To do that click virus and threat protection, click open Windows security. You have some options, perhaps first up you could do a full scan, (to do that click scan options and select full scan) but note this could take an hour or two depending on how many files you have on the computer. Normally a quick scan is sufficient.
Ask in the malware forum if you find any problems.
