Windows 10: Virus & Threat protection keep turning off, highly likely related to "Audit Failure, event...

Hello, 3-4 days ago, my Virus & Threat protection keep turning off on its own and I can't just click restart on the "Security at a glance" page, I have to open services.msc and start the "Windows Defender Antivirus Service" (even though it's set to start automatically)

Now It keep turning off on a very random basis and now I have look at the Event Viewer--> Windows Log-->Security and there's a big coincidence that there's a weird "Audit Failure, Event ID 6281" happening just about 3-4 days ago. (there are three different message with the failure
1.flightsettings.dll 2.dsreq.dll 3.aepic.dll(image below showing aepic.dll)

Now I have look up all over the internet for both the Virus & Threat protection keep stopping and event ID 6281 on separate case and found this
https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us...otection/7c5a4f85-e3b8-4b8c-8dfd-577da80d599a

Apparently the person who posted that question also have the Virus & Threat keep stopping problem and also show the event ID 6281 problem, however he just reinstall windows 10 all over again.

Is there any other way to fix this problem? I don't think this is a virus/malware problem, I have tried using Malwarebyte and got nothing, also try using TDSSkiller and got nothing, also try the window defender itself after it has been turned back on and it got nothing.
But I am really not sure what's the cause of this problem because it's just 4 days ago that it happens and I did not do anything that I don't normally do.

Sorry for the long post, any help is highly appreciated, thank you.

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 threat protection

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

 

Virus and Threat Protection Warnings

Hi Penelope_AV

ETD_GetSMART.exe is HP Software and it is safe, that software is designed to check your hard drive for imminent failure and warn you

You can add that to the list of safe files in Controlled Folder Access to get rid of this warning

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 an app to the list of safe or allowed apps to prevent them from being blocked

ETD_GetSMART.exe is located in the following folder:

C:\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\HP Support Framework\Resources\HPActiveHealth\Executable Agent Data\_Shared\DiskCheck\
