  1. Windows Defender turned off by IT administrator


    So I was trying to see the threat that defender detected when it said "Your IT administrator has limited access to some area of this app, and the item you try to access is not available. Contact your IT helpdesk for more information" After that I can't turn on the real-time protection feature anymore. Can anyone help me turn the real time protection on please?

    :)

  3. WINDOWS DEFENDER is turned off

    Hi Ahmed,

    Since you're not able to turn on Windows Defender as well, we'd like to know if you have made any changes recently prior to this issue. In the meantime, you may follow the steps below on how to turn on Windows Defender manually:

    • Type Windows Defender in the Search bar and press
      Enter.
    • Go to Settings and make sure that the Turn on real-time protection recommended option is turned on.
    Same thing with the other members who are having the same issue, we suggest that you check if the service was setup to
    Automatic in the Services option. Please follow the steps that we've provided last
    September 3, 2017.

    Let us know how if you were able to turn it on properly by changing the Startup type to Automatic.
