    Issues with Windows defender after upgraded to Windows 10

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting the query on Microsoft community.

    I appreciate your interest on Windows 10.

    To begin with troubleshooting I would like you to answer the following question:

    • How did you perform upgrade? Is it through update or through media creation tool?

    I suggest you to check the latest version of Windows defender by clicking on
    Settings>update and security>Windows defender.

    If latest version is installed and still its not working then
    I suggest you to run Windows Update Troubleshooter

    Follow the below steps:

    • Type troubleshooting in the search bar.
      • Select Troubleshooting.
      • Select View all on the top left corner.
      • Click on windows update.
      • Follow the on-screen instructions to run the troubleshooter.

    If you have performed upgradation through media creation tool then there is no option to rollback. But if you upgrade through Windows update you can roll back by clicking on
    Settings>update and security>recovery>rollback.

    Please get back to us with updated status, we will be happy to assist you.

    Getting this security warning

    Warning That is most definitely a scam, whatever you do don't call that number, don't allow that page open pop-ups!

    You said that page will open every time you open Edge. That might be because the site has added it to the list of pages that opens whenever Edge is launched. I've see this happen when user has accidentally visited a not too safe site. Check that list first, if the page is there remove it by clicking the X after the site address. See screenshot:
