  1. Windows Defender Issues


    Hello,So, I am not sure how to go about fixing this, I have looked at other articles, tried running it all. Like I downloaded Malware bytes, detected no viruses. I tried going into settings and enabling stuff, still no luck. I just want to know what I could potentially do to fix this.

    :)

  2. Windows update and windows defender issues

    We suggest you to avoid installing any cleaner or anti-virus software that may interrupt the function of Windows Defender. Make sure that Windows Defender is always on. To do this follow these steps:

    • On the Start menu, type Windows Defender and hit enter.
    • Click Settings.
    • Turn Real-time protection on.
    We also recommend you to install the latest update for Windows Defender.

    Should you have further questions, feel free to get back to us.
