    defender won't automatically start in windows 10, cant turn on manually suggested resource in use?

    Is this what you are seeing? Remove The Requested Resource is in Use Error (Removal Guide)

    If so, suggest you follow the above referenced Bleeping Computer Removal Guide.

    But - - -

    If this is not the issue you have encountered and you are a new user of Windows Defender, go to Security and Maintenance, look in 'Security' and see
    what program is listed under Virus Protection. Windows Defender will not be enabled and functioning properly if there is a program other than Windows Defender listed.



    Suggest try the steps recommended in Problems
    starting Windows Defender in Windows 8/8.1/10     to include (but not limited to) running SFC, scanning for malware and running the software removal tools for any
    security software (AVG, Kaspersky, McAfee, Trend, Norton, whatever) that may have previously been on the computer (including trial versions of McAfee or Norton) followed by a reboot? List of
    anti-malware product removal tools

    Alternatively - - -



    You may prefer to install a third party antimalware program (which should disable Windows Defender)

    Windows Defender problem

    Hi Ernst,

    To troubleshoot this issue, we suggest that you check the Windows Defender service if it's running. If you are using a third party spyware/malware program, it may disable the Windows Defender service. To do this, please follow the steps below:

    • Press Windows + R key.
    • Type services.msc.
    • Right-click Windows Defender service and click
      Start.

    Let us know the result.

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