Windows 10: Can NordVPN's Threat Protection work side-by-side with Defender?

Hi everyone and happy new year.Having NordVPN's Threat Protection both Web and File protection fully ACTIVE, could it automatically disable Windows Defender? I ask that because I know that Defender is automatically disabled when another anti-virus is active on the system. But on the other side, NordVPN is not strictly an anti-virus: it's a VPN with some anti-virus features.So, in sum, I'd need that NordVPN's Threat Protection works side-by-side with Windows Defender, i.e. without limiting Defender! Possible?Many thanks in advance.

Virus and threat protection not working

Hi there, I recently reinstalled my windows and the Virus and threat protection is down! I have found that I am missing the 'Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection Service ' and 'Windows Defender Security
Center Service' files from my services list, I have looked into this and can find no solution to fixing this issue, if anyone can help it would be much appreciated!!

 

Cannot turn on Windows Defender virus protection

I had the same sort of symptoms. In the Windows Security Center, under Virus and threat protection, it said "Your virus & threat protection is managed by your organization."





I note you mentioned the Registry Keys under HKLM/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Windows Defender. Nice spotting, but it seems like there is another key that is causing the problem for some users.

Steps to a solution:

1. Press the Windows key and type "regedit"
   
2. On the regedit icon that appears, right-click and select Run as Administrator.
   
3. Navigate to the folder located at HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows Defender (You can paste this into the address box at the top of the window, or navigate manually using the side directory structure)
   
4. In this folder, there are probably two keys. Right-click and Delete the DisableAntiSpyware key.
   
5. Exit regedit, and return to the Windows Defender settings screen (refresh it if necessary). Windows Defender should have the scan options available and working.
