Windows 10: Windows Defender

How can I reinstate Windows Defender,which is now closed down,by removing McAvee security even though the icon is missing.

Hello, i was wondering when the "Belle Refresh" update will be available for N8-00 059D607 devices.

 

Type defender in the search bar and select Windows Defender Settings.

Make sure defender is turned on.

Hello Willden, *Smile

Double check using OPTION ONE in the tutorial below to make sure that Recycle Bin is checked.

followed your instructions to the letter to no avail,using your no.1 method.Tried it treble times and not a peep.

 

If you haven't already, see if turning it off, apply, and turning it on may sort it.

If it doesn't help, then check using the tutorial below to see if you may have hidden all icons on your desktop by mistake instead.

I hope you used a uninstaller to get rid of McAfee, otherwise you may be having problems due to leftover files.

The McAfee uninstaller can be found here. You may wish to run it if you haven't to make sure you get rid of everything. AV's embed themselves deeply into a OS, this is normal behavior, but it also makes uninstalling them somewhat difficult. The best course of action is to use the AV's uninstaller to remove as much as possible. Any leftover orphan files can cause problems down the road.

Have tried what you suggest but still no bin.What does happen though is that when I first boot up a blank desktop first appears with nothing on it,and this started same time as bin went awol.Sorry.

 

Do you have more than one monitor? Please use the windows key + P when you next have a blank screen on start up and try a different monitor arrangement

 

When I press start or W+p it cycles through a empty desktop first after logging in then Windows desktop picture appears.Could I please ask you not to suggest that I undertake anything too involved or technical as I am undergoing a severe illness and my physical and mental strengths leave a great deal to be desired.

 

Wilden,

I see you have this thread marked as solved. Did you get it sorted?

 

Far from it,waiting for you to rescue me.

 

If you like, you could try doing a system restore using a restore point dated before you had the virus and this issue to hopefully sort it for you quickly. *Smile
