    Does "MS Defender" work?


    Dear Sir/Madam:


    Since I bought this PC w10, I use the build-in "MS Defender" for "AV"


    Today I check the"Defender":

    C:/Program File/Winders Defender/Offline/OfflineScannerShell.exe

    It says:

    OfflineScannerShell. exe System Error: Can not find mpclient.dll

    Reinstall it please.


    What should I do? -- Zhao

    :)

    MS Defender Won't Load After Upgrade to Windows 10 Ver 1511

    Attempted every step in document provided by Microsoft

    Problems starting Windows Defender in Windows 8/8.1/10

    Nothing worked, HOWEVER, the last step is to Delete Conflicting Registry Entries. My registry contains one of the entries listed (MsMpEng.exe) however, REGEDIT could not delete this entry as I was directed.

    Problem still exists; as soon as I start MS Defender, it stops.

    Any further suggestions?

    The tutorials provided are just a list of troubleshooting steps. Use only the steps which apply to you.

    Since none of the troubleshooting steps here worked, I'd suggest you do a Clean install.

    Windows Defender Not Working in Windows 10

    Hi,

    Thank you for using Windows 10.

    Sorry for the delayed reply. I suggest you to Set Windows Defender to Automatic - You can set the Windows Defender service to Automatic, Disabled or Manual. Setting it to automatic might solve the problem. Follow these
    steps:

    • Click Start > type services in the Search box > click Services in the Programs list.
    • Search for Windows defender.
    • Double-click Windows Defender, and click Automatic in the start-up box > click OK.
    Also, follow the below mentioned steps and check:

    • Open the Task manager. Here’s a tip: Press CTRL+Shift+ESC.
    • Click File > Run New Task
    • Make sure you have a check mark beside “Create this task with administrative privileges”
    • Type CMD
    • Type the following 2 commands at the CMD prompt:

      dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

      sfc /scannow

    • Close the CMD window
    Keep us posted on the status of the issue and we’ll be glad to help.
