Windows 10: Windows Defender

I have removed my previous AV program and want to temporarily return to Windows Defender. I can not get the switch to turn on in Windows Settings for Defender. I have tried turning it on in Service still no luck. Any and all help is appreciated.

N8-00 and Belle Refresh

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

 

like i said i cannot turn on in windows settings

 

From my experience it should turn itself on when you reboot your PC.

 

No clue at this point.. hopefully someone else can help out soon.

Control Panel/All Control Panel Items/Windows Defender/Start Now

 

Download Enable WD and run it as admin and restart, if it does not work, start Safe Mode and run it from there.

Safe Mode - Start Windows 10 in - Windows 10 Forums

 

See if this will help....................

In the search box next to Start button, type ser > Enter...............
You are now on Services window.
Scroll down to Windows Defender Service > right click at it > click Properties............
at Startup type, is the box greyed out or is it active ?
if it is active, click the pointer and select Automatic.
at Service status , is the box Start active?
if yes, click it.
Click OK when done.

 

Thanx TO it did work in the SAFE MODE. One question though, all the options in SETTINGS>DEFENDER are greyed out and there is a statement in red that reads "some settings are managed by your organization"

 

Because some settings were set via registry/policy, like detection of PUP.
If you want to reset it and to be able to change it by yourself, run this:

reg delete "HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows Defender" /f

 

just delete that registry string in regedit?

Yes, it will reset all settings, WD will just create new ones.
