    Real Time protection couldn't be turned on (error)

    Hi,

    We would like to know if you're turning on the Real time Protection of Windows Defender. If so, do you have a third-party antivirus software installed? If you're using a third party antivirus, Windows Defender will be turned off to give way to the antivirus
    you want to use. We recommend uninstalling the third party antivirus program if you want to use Windows Defender.

    If you're not using a third party antivirus software, kindly answer the questions below for us to better assist you on your concern:

    • When did you notice that you're unable to turn on the Real time Protection of Windows Defender?
    • Were there any changes made on the computer before encountering the issue?
    • What is the exact error code and error message that you're getting when turning on the Real time Protection of Windows Defender? We suggest posting a screenshot of the issue here for us to further investigate your concern.

    We hope to hear from you soon.

  3. Cant turn on real time protection

    I’m not sure what’s going on there, but you might want to run some scans in order to make sure that malware hasn’t assumed the role of administrator and turned off Defender’s real-time protection with Group Policy:

    Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool:

    Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool 2015

    Emsisoft Emergency Kit:

    http://www.emsisoft.com/en/software/eek/

    Malwarebytes Anti-Malware (free version only):

    Antivirus for Windows 11 | Windows Antivirus | Malwarebytes Windows 11

    Eset Online Scanner:

    Free Virus Scan | Online Virus Scan from ESET

    Some other trusted third-party malware-removal tools are listed here:

    https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us...al-tools/d824b9af-ebd8-4c47-94e2-8ee6c544c100

    Then you can use these REG commands to toggle the Group Policy setting for Windows Defender’s real-time protection.

    Click on the Start button and select Windows Powershell (Admin) and then copy, paste, and enter the command:

    Turn off Windows Defender’s real-time protection:

    REG ADD "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows Defender\Real-Time Protection" /v DisableRealtimeMonitoring /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f

    Turn on Windows Defender’s real-time protection:

    REG DELETE "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows Defender\Real-Time Protection" /v DisableRealtimeMonitoring

    Windows Defender Real-time Protection will not turn on

    I've done the exact same steps and same for me. Still won't turn on. Anyone have a way to muscle defender into turning on real-time protection?
