    Windows Defender won't remove a found thread.


    Hi. It's been about 2 months since something happened to my windows security app. Basically since i downloaded utorrent, every time i do something related to utorrent, the windows defender would pop up saying a potentially unwanted app has been found, then i would just click "start action" and then "remove", and it would be gone. But then something happened 2 months ago. It stopped removing the potentially unwanted apps, all of which utorrent. I keep clicking "start action" and then "remove" but nothing happens. The little menu just closes off, and the thread remains as it is. I just finished yet another full scan, and there are about 10 threads found, all the same "PUA:Win32/uTorrent" but i can't remove them. I click on "start action" and nothing happens.


    Here's a pic:


    I just click "remove" and nothing happens. Why? How do i remove these threads?

    Windows defender is turned off and won`t turn back on

    Windows defender on windows 10 enterprise won`t turn on. This happened shortly after i updated it; when I try to turn it on it says:

    This app has been turned off and it isn't monitoring your computer.

    And right underneath it, it says:

    If you are using another app for malicious and unwanted software use Security and Maintenance to check that app`s status.

    Need for a response ASAP, thanks Windows Defender won't remove a found thread. :)

    Windows Defender won't remove a found thread.

    windows defender - services (error 577) [WIN 10]

    Go to Security and Maintenance, look in 'Security' and see what program is listed under Virus Protection. Windows Defender will not be enabled and functioning properly if there is a program other than Windows Defender listed.



    Suggest try the steps recommended in Problems
    starting Windows Defender in Windows 8/8.1/10     to include running SFC, scanning for malware with Malwarebytes and running the software removal tools for any security software (Avast,
    McAfee, Norton, etc) that may have previously been on the computer followed by a reboot? Be sure you run the Avast Removal Utility:
    List of
    anti-malware product removal tools

    For further information see the reply of quietman7 in
    this thread: Windows Defender.

    And see Configure Windows Defender in Windows 8, 8.1 and 10
