    Cant re enable windows defender. [​IMG]

    Originally there was the problem that my virus protection was run by my organization (dont have one) so I deleted the disableantispyware thing in regedit and now when i go to restart the antivirus there is an error. Now I cant enable both of these services and I cant change any of their properties or settings. Hope this is enough information and I hope im clear enough

    Windows defender is not going to enable manually....

    Hi,

    Windows Defender Antivirus works help protect your device by scanning for malicious or unwanted software and uses real-time protection to scan everything you download or run on your device. To efficiently assist you, we'd like to gather more information:

    • What is the exact error message you received?
    • Are you able to use Windows Defender before?

    Meanwhile, we suggest that you follow the steps in this article on how to turn on/off Windows Defender.

    Let us know if you need further assistance.
