    Hello, people and all Windows users.


    Let me get down to my issue right ahead.


    A few weeks ago, My previous user account on this system became corrupt so I had to make a new user to get out of it. What I realized was that the Default app to open Photos, too, was corrupt and not working. But there are a lot of other apps to open so I didn't have to care about it.


    What I care about is my system's security as the AntiVirus Program of Microsoft. Now, I know there are a lot of other AntiVirus Programs but Microsoft Windows Defender AntiVirus is User Friendly and not disturbing or irritating, unlike others. When I am trying to open Defender, I get a strange message.

    Any help, Advice or suggestion will be welcomed.

    Respectfully,

    SS

    Better free alternative to microsoft defender?

    Windows Defender, Bill?

    Yeah. Same thing. Definitions to stay up to date on threats of course, but thats really just a list of tricks and signatures.


    You don't have to be. You just have to be smart enough to break their shit. You can take it apart and reverse engineer it and marvel later (I was impressed by a clients just recently). It's not hard to be up to date enough to keep malware a.) mostly off your machine in the first place and b.) limit it's damage when it does appear to your machine via network and best practices.

    Some may call my approach inconvienient, but it DOES work.

    Hi Ian,

    Thanks for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

    This issue might occur if you have set any task scheduler for Windows Defender.

    I suggest you to delete the task for Windows defender and check if it helps.

    Follow the below steps:


    • Search and open Schedule tasks.

    • In the left-hand menu, open the Task Scheduler Library, then select
      Microsoft >Windows >Windows Defender.

    • Double-click Windows Defender Scheduled Scan.

    • Select the Triggers panel, then select Delete.

    Hope it helps, reply to us with the status of your issue. We will be happy to assist you.
