  1. DEFENDER MALFUNCTION


    I am using Windows 8.1 and anti virus Defender for past few years. There were absolutely no issues.


    However in the past fortnight the Defender automatically switches off when I log in. It needs to be manually turned on.


    Please help

    :)

    Hi again. We really apologize if we took long to provide a response as we are trying to figure out the next possible troubleshooting steps for an unusual case like your. Let's try these methods:

    Method 1: Enable Windows Defender from Control Panel.

    • Press Windows key + X, click on Control Panel.
    • On right top corner, click on View and then choose Large items.

    • Press Windows + R, to open run prompt.
    • Type services.msc and press Enter to open

    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.
