    Update for Windows Defender antimalware platform


    Your recent update is preventing our Win10 machine from working. It boots eventually and them hangs. Inspection via 'task manager' identifies Win defender as the issue.

    This is your recommended fix

    https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/help/4052623/update-for-windows-defender-antimalware-platform


    However, the BIOS does not include 'secure boot' as an option on or off, and we cannot access the 'command prompt' as we cannot access the 'start menu'. Also, we cannot use the task manager to 'end task' Win defender as is 'access denied'.

    We cannot access safe mode, because we cannot access the start menu and F8 on restart does not respond, nor does Win+R buttons.


    Any suggestions.

    Yes. You can also get it using routine WD updates [through the WD UI or by using MpCmdRun.exe -SignatureUpdate], as tomcat also indicates.
