Windows 10: How can I solve this Windows Defender error?

Hello, when I try to open Windows defender, a message pops up saying "Page Not Available. The IT administrator has restricted access to certain areas of this application, and the item you are trying to access is not available. Please contact the IT support department." Furthermore, there are some functions of the defender missing, for example, the option to add exclusions doesn't even appear. How should I solve this?

Windows 10: Windows Defender will not turn on *SOLVED*

I have tried your suggestions to start Windows Defender in Windows 10. It was followed step by step but at the end Windows Defender Service in Services.msc could not be started. After restart, Windows could not be started. It had to restarted twice before
it could be started. After restart Windows Defender error message has stopped from appearing on the screen but Window Defender could not be started. Under Update & Security it remains grey and Services.msc same could not be started. Windows Defender still
can't be opened.

Why it is so?

 

Windows Defender isn't initializing.
