    Windows Defender window is empty


    I have Win 10 Pro.


    If I right-click on a file or folder, the WD window is launched - but it's empty.

    The same thing happens if I click on the WD icon in sys tray.

    Any advice?

    Thanks.

    :)

    According to Windows Defender DDU has Malware in it.

    Add DDU to the exclusion list either from there or the settings for Defender. Then you'll be fine. I've used DDU for years, and as-long-as you downloaded it from a reputable source you should be fine. If they offer MD5 hash checks that might be worth doing to make sure though if you're concerned your version is malicious.
