Windows 10: Windows 10 Ransomware protection

I have been having continued problems with my HP PC since installing the Windows Defender anti Ransomware software. I have checked thoroughly for any malware on my PC. Window updates are installed to date. All drivers and software are up to date. but with the Ransomware software running the PC freezes totally after most Windows Defender updates. I also notice that my Documents folder has changed to Read Only. Also my Brother Wireless Laser printer will not operate. All these issues are resolved when I turn off the Widows Ransomware software. Do you have any advice, please.
