    Existing antivirus blocking Windows AV from updating. How to find the existing AV program?

    I am trying to n on Windows Defender and AV. Keep getting the message: Windows Defender Antivirus Real-time protection is off because you are using another AV program. I do not see any existing AV program on my system. How can I find the AV program that
    Windows is finding?

    Windows Bit Defender will not turn on "Handled by another AV Program

    Windows 10 Pro v 1606 Build 14393.693

    I had Bitdefender installed and uninstalled it with their uninstall tool.

    Then I ran CCleaner and fixed all registry errors AND manually deleted all left over folders/files from Bitdefender

    AND I edited the registry and deleted any Bitdefender hits

    I STILL get the Note (In Windows defender) Handled by another AV Program.

    When I click turn on it opens up Control Panel "Apps and features".

    But there does not seem to be any default AV app setting and there are no AV programs in the list of all programs

    I have looked over every post on this topic I can find and nothing works for me!
