    Windows Defender was turned off. It will not turn back on.

    I did NOT turn OFF Windows Defender. It was turned OFF and will NOT turn back On. I did a RESTART later, and then was finally able to turn Windows Defender back On.

    windows defender turned off.....................

    @atramsuraj: You can
    read this post     and follow the given steps to re-enable your Windows Defender. And, by the way:

    • What OS are you running?
    • Are you also using 3rd-party security program? If so, please consider disabling it, as some could turn off Windows Defender automatically.

    Bye Windows Defender, I need to turn you back off again

    Disable Windows Defender with Local Registry Settings

    If you're not able to use Group Policy then see To Turn On or Off Windows Defender using a REG file.

    WARNING: Before working in the Windows Registry, it is always a good idea to back it up first, so that you have the option of restoration, should something go wrong. This article shows the different ways to back up and restore the Windows Registry or its Hives.
