    Windows Defender


    When I go into "settings / system / about" it has green ticks against virus protection and firewall. When I click on the link "see details in windows security" it says that I'll need a new application to open this "windowsdefender" (their word).

    If I click on the offered link to the MS Store it searches (with no effort from me) but then says "no results for windowsdefender"!

    My questions are these:

    > Presumably (given the green ticks) my W10 has a security system enabled but what is its correct name?

    > I am not sure why I need to add an app to open it but accepting I do. what app would that be?

    If anyone can assist a W10 newbie I would be most grateful.

    :)

  2. Windows Defender problem

    Hi Ernst,

    To troubleshoot this issue, we suggest that you check the Windows Defender service if it's running. If you are using a third party spyware/malware program, it may disable the Windows Defender service. To do this, please follow the steps below:

    • Press Windows + R key.
    • Type services.msc.
    • Right-click Windows Defender service and click
      Start.

    Let us know the result.

    We suggest you to avoid installing any cleaner or anti-virus software that may interrupt the function of Windows Defender. Make sure that Windows Defender is always on. To do this follow these steps:

    • On the Start menu, type Windows Defender and hit enter.
    • Click Settings.
    • Turn Real-time protection on.
    We also recommend you to install the latest update for Windows Defender.
