    win 10 defender issues

    Hi,

    Windows Defender helps in making your computer secure from any viruses or malware. Listed below are some reasons why the program will not work properly:

    • Software conflicts (usually cause with other anti-virus application)
    • Virus and malware infection
    • Corrupted system files

    To help you with the issue, we suggest following the steps provided by
    PrashantKumar96
    on this thread
    that can help in running your Windows Defender successfully.

    Let us know if you have other concerns.

    Windows defender security center problem

    When I try to start the windows defender security center the antimalware service executable starts up and uses up to 98% CPU. I have tried to change proxy restart defender and many suggested steps and also went to windows deffender online to do a scan
    that way but no malware came up. The problem still persists. Does anyone know what to do in this situation? I just want my security to run properly but I cant even get to the menus.

    Security Defender is not working properly

    defender does not work properly

    Never heard of "fixwin."

    What error did you receive?

    Any other security program installed?



    Be sure Automatic Updates are enabled.



    The behavior you are describing is typical if there are remnants of a third party program installed.



    Go to Security and Maintenance, look in 'Security' and see what program is listed under Virus Protection. Windows Defender will not be enabled if there is a program other than Windows Defender
    listed.



    Have you tried the steps recommended in Problems
    starting Windows Defender in Windows 8/8.1/10
    to include running the software removal tools for any security software (AVG, McAfee, Norton, whatever) that may have previously been on the computer followed by a reboot?



    For further information see the reply of quietman7 in
    this thread: Windows Defender.

    And see Configure Windows
    Defender in Windows 8, 8.1 and 10

    If you cannot resolve the issue you may want to install a different antimalware program.
    There are a number of viable options available.
