    I tried deleting items from registry, and loads of cmd commands and it still doesnt work. It feels like it took away my administrator rights.

    vindows defender doesnt turn on - asks MCafee to be uninstalled - Mcaffe Live doesnt uninstall ?

    computer processor = i3-61000

    os windows 10home version 1607 ----- 24-g014

    expertise - low

    Appreciate for any suggestions

    1. can not change AV software

    vindows defender doesnt turn on - asks MCafee to be uninstalled -

    Mcafee Live doesnt uninstall ?

    2. how to be owner ? (for the computer user account)

    I am single user - but not listed as owner - can not delete some folders - can not change privileges-saying SYSTEM owns it

    can not remove SYSTEM - no authority on USERS

    thank you

    Snowy

    Windows defender does not allow for me to unquarantine items

    Hi Michael,

    The Real-time protection feature of Windows
    Defender stops malware from running on your device. It's possible that this feature is preventing the system from restoring/allowing the affected program. If you're sure that the affected program is virus free, we suggest that you disable the
    feature temporarily and try to restore the program. To do this, follow the steps below:

    • Type Windows Defender settings in the search bar and press
      Enter.
    • Under Windows Defender, disable
      Real-time protection by clicking the toggle button.
    • Once you're done, restore the affected file/program and check if the issue persists.

    Also, you can allow a quarantined file/program from the Windows
    Defender desktop app. If you have the app installed on your device, you can follow these steps:

    • Type Windows Defender in the search box, and then select the Desktop app.
    • Under the History tab, click on the check box for the affected file/program.
    • Select Allow item.

    We'll appreciate if you can send us an update.
