Windows 10: VIRUS & THREAT PROTECTION IS MISSING FROM WINDOWS SECURITY

Hello all,


It is missing from both "Security at a glance" and the "Windows Security" screen. Leaving no way

to control the Virus & Threat Protection feature.


This problem appears to be happening more frequently. While thecause is unknown, there is a

simple Registry modification, that will fix the problem.


In W10 PRO this condition can be initiated using the Group Policy Editor. For W10 Home, who knows

how it is happening. Since it is becoming more prevalent, it may be malware related.


If you become affected by this condition, enter the Registry by clicking "Start" and type "regedit".

Select "Run as an Administrator". Then, in the Registry Editor screen, navigate to the following location.

Hkey_Local_Machine\Software\Microsoft\Windows Defender Security Center\Virus And Threat

Protection.


This folder will probably only contain one key. "Default".

Right-click on the blank space in this folder.

Rest the cursor on "New", and select "Dword 32-bit Value"

Type "UILockdown" and leave the Dword = 0 0 = Show 1 = Hide

Left click on the blank space, then exit the Registry.


No need to Restart. "Virus & Threat Protection" should be accessible now.


Regards, Glen

:)

Windows security Virus & threat protection tells me that "Your Virus & threat protection is managed by your organization" Something is wrong since I don't have an organization. Please help

Hi Valentin

As an alternative approach, you can allow that utility through the Controlled Folder Access section of WIndows 10 security . . .

Open Windows Defender Security Center

Go to Virus & threat protection - Virus & threat protection settings

Scroll down to Controlled folder access

From there, you can add Dell Data Vault to the list of safe or allowed apps to prevent it from being blocked

Please do not leave Controlled Folder Access turned off permanently
