    Windows 10 notification keeps reporting Turn on Virus Protection

    Original Title: Defender

    Windows 10 notification keeps reporting "Turn on Virus Protection. Virus protection is turned off. Under Settings/Update & Security/ Windows Defender all the options show "On", including Real Time Protection. However the settings are greyed out and I cannot
    try turn off and then back on. Any suggestions as to how to fix defender?

    Turning on spyware and virus protection

    I have Windows 10 and have been advised that both my spyware and virus protections are not turned on. I have tried to turn them on but to no avail. I do not have any competing protection installed on my computer. Please advise as to how to proceed.

    Windows 10 notification keeps reporting Turn on Virus Protection

    This is the third time I have asked for help on this issue in the past 10 days. Does Microsoft even read these anymore. I have the same error message as above and it just started after getting an update from Microsoft when I went to turn off my computer.
    I use Webroot for my anti virus, Windows says it's on and Webroot says computer protected but I am still getting the notification that "Windows Defender and Webroot Secure Anywhere are turned off".

    My system worked fine since I upgraded from Win 8.1 back in July 2015 until March 2016. I see it was a problem back in Aug 2015, so what did Microsoft do...put a quick fix on it and now it has creeped up again. Will someone let me know how to correct this.
    I am an insider and never had this with the pre-release version.
