WINDOWS DEFENDER is turned off

Hi Ahmed,

Since you're not able to turn on Windows Defender as well, we'd like to know if you have made any changes recently prior to this issue. In the meantime, you may follow the steps below on how to turn on Windows Defender manually:

• Type Windows Defender in the Search bar and press
  Enter.
  
• Go to Settings and make sure that the Turn on real-time protection recommended option is turned on.
  

Same thing with the other members who are having the same issue, we suggest that you check if the service was setup to
Automatic in the Services option. Please follow the steps that we've provided last
September 3, 2017.

Let us know how if you were able to turn it on properly by changing the Startup type to Automatic.

@atramsuraj: You can
read this post and follow the given steps to re-enable your Windows Defender. And, by the way:

• What OS are you running?
• Are you also using 3rd-party security program? If so, please consider disabling it, as some could turn off Windows Defender automatically.

 

How to turn on Windows Defender

I reviewed the posting for turning on windows defender and when I got to step 9 windows defender was not listed and I could not continue.

The actual problem that brought me here today is that when I go to windows defender page everything is grayed out and I can only see but not make any changes to the page. I am not sure if windows defender is running on my machine or not.
