  1. Windows defender, system running 8.1


    Hi there, i need help activating windows defender.

    I am in the process of trying to install Magic the Gathering: Arena, and i have come into a few snags.
    While installing said game, the game said i needed to install C++, so i tried to do so. It then told me there was an error with that. A quick google search told me i needed to install .NET . I tried to install .NET, but then i got another error. This error told me Windows modules services installer was not installed on my computer.
    I tried for a long time to get this installed, but after several "safe boots", and hard drive scans, I got yet another error. After some more gooling I found that I could be windows defender was not active. I'm now having problems activating windows defender. I have tried the whole page based around re-activating defender that's located on the windows site. But alas to no avail.

    Please help!

    :)

    Suggestion to have a look at this wiki which in large parts also applies to Windows 10, especially see

    • Can WD shutdown my PC once a scan is finished?
    • How do I schedule a scan with WD?
