  1. IT Windows defender


    I been having problems with windows defender for about 2 weeks, I have been dealing with everything and I still have the same problem, even several times I reset my pc, changing the Gmail, and the problems remain the same, this causes me some panic knowing that something is wrong, since when I just got the pc everything was fine, someone who can help me?

  2. 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.
