  2. Windows Defender isn't initializing.

    Hi Abdul,

    Thank you for using Windows 10.

    Sorry for the delayed reply. I suggest you to Set Windows Defender to Automatic - You can set the Windows Defender service to Automatic, Disabled or Manual. Setting it to automatic might solve the problem. Follow these
    steps:

    • Click Start > type services in the Search box > click Services in the Programs list.
    • Search for Windows defender.
    • Double-click Windows Defender, and click Automatic in the start-up box > click OK.
    Also, follow the below mentioned steps and check:

    • Open the Task manager. Here’s a tip: Press CTRL+Shift+ESC.
    • Click File > Run New Task
    • Make sure you have a check mark beside “Create this task with administrative privileges”
    • Type CMD
    • Type the following 2 commands at the CMD prompt:

      dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

      sfc /scannow

    • Close the CMD window
    Keep us posted on the status of the issue and we’ll be glad to help.

    windows defender

    Windows Defender regularly scans your device to help keep it safe from virus, malware, and spyware.

    To isolate your concern, we suggest that you check first if you’ve enabled Windows Defender by following the steps below:

    • Type Services on the Search bar and select the topmost search result.
    • Locate Windows Defender Service and check if the Status shows
      Running and the Startup Type is set to
      Automatic
      .
    • If it's not set to Automatic, double-click on the service and select Automatic from the drop-down bar under Startup Type and set Service status to Running.
    • Click Apply and then click OK.
    • Close the window and check if the changes are effective.
    Kindly update us with the result and let us know if you need further help.
