  1. Windows Defender feels invisible to system, but not for me...


    Windows defender app exists, their registry files are still there, nothing looks wrong, but there is no service called windows defender. If you try to open windows defender, nothing will happen. But the windows security notification still appears, but when you click on it nothing happens. Now I can't turn on defender virus protection, great. When I click "Virus and threat protection", it says you'll need a new app to open this windowsdefender link. What can I do? I use windows 11 latest dev release/all drives are updated. And please DO NOT tell me install service on powershell because it doe

    • Click Settings.
    • Turn Real-time protection on.
    We also recommend you to install the latest update for Windows Defender.

    Windows Defender Not Working in Windows 10

    Hello,

    Thank you for keeping us posted on the status of the issue.

    We appreciate your patience on this issue. I would like to assist you further on this issue.

    Error 577 Windows Defender error codes are caused in one way or another by misconfigured system files in your windows operating system, which may be caused by windows system files damage.

    Please be informed that In order for Windows Defender to run, it will require that the
    Windows Defender Service remain "Started" (running) and set to "Automatic". Also, certain 3rd party antivirus programs are mainly responsible as it turns off the Windows Defender when they are installed.

    Please follow the below methods.

    Method 1

    This issue may happen due to system file corruption. I suggest you to run System file checker. System File checker (SFC) scan is done to check if there are any corrupted system files that could be causing this issue. Kindly follow
    the below given steps:


    • Press Windows key + X, select
      Command prompt (Admin) to bring up elevated Command prompt.

    • In Command prompt type
      sfc/scannow
      and press enter.

    • Restart the computer.

      If no corrupted system files were found in the previous state, then I suggest you to try the following steps:

    • Open command prompt by pressing Windows key + X and selecting “Command prompt admin”.

    • In command prompt, type the following commands and press Enter after each command:

      DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth

      DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth

    • Close the command prompt and restart the PC and check if it works.
    Method 2

    Please follow the below steps to set the right registry entry and check if it helps.

    • Press Win key + R. This will open Run.
    • Type "regedit" and hit enter.
    • Navigate to these keys:

      HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows Defender

      HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Defender
    • Change value of 'DisableAntiSpyware' and 'DisableAntiVirus' from '0' to '1'.
    • After changing the values go to 'C:\Program Files\Windows Defender' and open 'MSASCui.exe' file.
    Hope the above information was helpful. If you need further information, feel free to write to us and we would be happy to help you.

    Thank You.
