  1. Windows Defender Subscription


    I had a window pop open this morning on my computer, running Windows 10, telling me that my Windows Defender subscription had expired (as of today) and displayed a button to click to renew. Is this legit? My other Windows subscription programs always give an advanced notice before expiring. I have never been asked to pay for Windows Defender before.

    :)

  2. 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.
