    Going Back to Windows Defender


    Installed Trend Micro on a new Windows10 laptop. Now I would like to go back to just using Windows Defender and Malwarebytes. How do I turn off Trend, and properly activate Windows Defender?

    :)

  3. 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.
