Windows 10: Windows Defender Advanced Protection Service missing from Services? Help

Im running Windows 10 alot of times my laptop puts up a notication “Microsoft Defender Antivirus is turned off” but when I check it always says its turned on. Is this some sort of bug? Also.. yesterday i had this huge issue with my antivrius on my laptop: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=MKjUxnVgpmY


I ran Malwarbytes many times and it said no threats detected. I dont know what made my Windows Defender Antivirus randomly stop working completely as seen in the video. I ran a scf scannow and that worked to get it back running. But what made the antivirus stop in the first place? Malwarebytes didnt detect anything many times with rootkit scan and all.

This is the main problem: If you click the Youtube video and go to 2:18.. youll see his Services display a “Windows Defender Advanced Protection Service”When i go to services its missing. Why?

Thanks

Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection Service - Error 1067

Are you running the PC on an enterprise network and logging on to a domain? If not, the Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection Service won't run and shouldn't be started. It's not intended for stand-alone PCs.

Announcing Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection for Enterprise

The service that should be running (on Automatic) is Windows Defender Antivirus Service. If you have Cloud-based protection and Automatic sample submission turned on the (Manual) Windows Defender Antivirus Network Inspection Service should also be running.

The previously suggested in-place repair install is quite painless and preserves all your installed apps, settings and files. It should fix things if you can't get them going yourself.

Securing Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003 services HOW TO

I will try changing their settings sometime, the one thing I've noticed about this guide is that it doesn't list the Windows services that NEED to be left as local system, so some people might not be too sure what they're doing and worry about any that aren't listed. Just a suggestion that you might want to include in any future revisions. *Smile

The non-default ones I have that you have not listed are:

.Net Runtime Optimization Service v2.0.50727_X86
Ati HotKey Poller
ATI Smart
AVG E-mail Scanner
AVG7 Alert Manager Server
AVG7 Update Service
BlueSoleil Hid Service
Bluetooth Support Service
ewido anti-spyware 4.0 guard
iPod Service
Messenger Sharing USN Journal Reader Service
Service Layer
Windows Defender Service

The problem is that the only ones of these I actually use are The AVG and Windows Defender services and occasionally the "Service Layer" service (related to Nokia PC Suite) and the "Messenger Sharing USN Journal Reader Service" (related to WindowsLive Messenger). Anyway, I'll see how much I can secure those and post back how I get on. I'll try to test it sometime this week just I'm a bit waring of changing the AVG settings because the only way to test if it was still working would be for a virus to be detected... and I' rather I didn't get viruses!
