    Virus And Threat Protection Has Stopped


    When I try and start Windows Defender to scan my system desktop computer, I get the following message:


    "Threat service has stopped. Restart it now."


    After I click on the Restart Now button, the it appears the system is doing something.


    After a few minutes, I get message "Unexpected error. Sorry, we ran into a problem. Please try again."


    I have tried this several times, and powered off/on my system. Same result.


    Can someone please tell me how to fix this ?


    Thanks

    :)

    virus and threat protection

    Virus and threat protection has stopped and will not restart, Windows 10 ver 1709, antimalware client ver 4.12.16299.15 . SuperAntiSpyware installed.

    I have tried most of the suggestions from the support pages, all have been ineffective. Any suggestions

    Virus and Threat protection

    NOTICE: After, installing 1909 update, Windows Defender, Virus and Threat protection, is / was "OFF". IS this common? Is this a bug? NO MESSAGE appeared in my Notification Area.. ONLY, by chance, did I notice, and turn it back on. I'd suggest.. AT
    ALL TIMES.. 'WHENEVER' MY virus protection is turned off.. BY DEFAULT... I 'SHOULD' BE NOTIFIED! YOUR thoughts on this?

    Virus and Threat Protection Issue

    When looking to run a virus scan on my computer, I'm met with an error that says "Virus and Threat Protection is Managed by your Organization." THis is a personal laptop though. Any suggestions?
