    My Windows Security is missing the Virus and Threat Protection feature.


    I, a home user, opened windows security yesterday, and just found out that the “Virus and Threat Protection” option is missing.

    I tried accessing the Virus and Threat Protection from the start menu, and it showed this:

    And I went to the Windows Defender Settings to to reveal this:

    Updating and repair-installing windows didn’t help.


    What should I do next?

    :)

    Windows security Virus & threat protection.

    Windows security Virus & threat protection tells me that "Your Virus & threat protection is managed by your organization" Something is wrong since I don't have an organization. Please help

    Hi Steven, while Controlled Folder Access is going to be a great feature, for the moment, until the rest of the software community catch up, your best option is to turn that feature off for now

    Open Windows Defender Security Center

    Go to Virus & threat protection - Virus & threat protection settings

    Scroll down to find Controlled folder access

    Turn that option off
