    Problem Updating Windows Defender


    Split from this thread.​

    I have the same problem where windows defender and everything around it is just demolished. I can't update anything, I can not do the simplest update & windows security. I am really worried I tried to look as you said about if there might be an extra user but no odd long number user like you had. What I have is the name Interactive what I cant recognize and I don't know nothing about rights so I was daunted to do those theses you gave. I just hope somebody at Microsoft can help me out because I can't update and use windows security and that's worrying me!!

    Please help!

    :)

    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.

    Windows update and windows defender issues

    We suggest you to avoid installing any cleaner or anti-virus software that may interrupt the function of Windows Defender. Make sure that Windows Defender is always on. To do this follow these steps:

    • On the Start menu, type Windows Defender and hit enter.
    • Click Settings.
    • Turn Real-time protection on.
    We also recommend you to install the latest update for Windows Defender.

    Should you have further questions, feel free to get back to us.
