    Windows Defender won't open


    Hi,For a while now I have been unable to open Windows Defender I am using Windows 11 Pro. I suspect I have Malware, since my RAM 8 GB is always at 90%, even when idle. I have had no issues with my RAM in the past 3 years.I upgraded to Microsoft 365, hoping to receive support but I am unable to access it. Whenever I try to open support.microsoft I receive an error message "access denied":You don't have permission to access "http://support.microsoft.com/surface?" on this server.Reference #18.8cc61cb8.1720618457.7c32f3a I tried different browsers, as well as using incognito mode. Nothing work

    :)

    Windows won`t open an program when I try to open it with Microsoft account user, but when I login with local account, that program opens. I have tried with 2 Microsoft accounts, 1 admin and 1 normal user, and it won`t open in either one of them. What can cause this?
