    Windows Defender apparently not installed on PC


    I recently purchased a pre-built PC which with winver shows Version 1809 - OS Build 17763.1039.


    Any time I try to open Windows Defender, it shows this error message: https://prnt.sc/r75jye lightshot


    Searching for Windows Security in All Apps shows this list: https://prnt.sc/r75k50


    I attempted going through regedit, changing owners and permissions, but nothing worked. The only thing I found that would hint at having Windows Defender was this tab: https://prnt.sc/r75kji


    However, no information is seemingly stored in Security Center: https://prnt.sc/r75knb

    :)

  3. Windows 7 wont install drivers

    i dont think anyone here understands what your asking either when its nearly a 90% english dominated Tech forum.
    Step 1
    reinstall windows from scratch
    Step 2
    install all drivers from the cd that came with the god damn motherboard *common sense*
    Step 3
    update windows
    Step 4
    install misc etc crap like flash java etc etc
    Step 5
    Install GPU drivers
    Step 6
    go back to using your pc without issue.

    +1

    If you having an issue installing a driver that worked before you formatted or wont install on a fresh build, sometimes this means hardware damage
